Forever Young Lyrics

[00:16.99] Let's dance in style, let's dance for awhile
[00:19.39] Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
[00:22.27] Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
[00:26.87] Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
[00:28.93] Let us die young or let us live forever
[00:32.75] We don't have the power, but we never say never
[00:37.54] Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
[00:42.32] The music's for the sad men
[00:45.07] Can you imagine when this race is won?
[00:47.48] Turn our golden faces into the sun
[00:50.90] Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
[00:54.94] The music's played by the
[00:56.31] The madmen
[00:58.47] Forever young, I want to be forever young
[01:03.07] Do you really want to live forever
[01:08.08] Forever
[01:10.28] Or never
[01:11.83] Forever young
[01:13.71] I want to be forever young
[01:16.14] Do you really want to live forever?
[01:20.74]
[01:23.31] Forever young
[01:28.19]
[01:32.22] Some are like water, some are like the heat
[01:34.33] Some are a melody and some are the beat
[01:37.05] Sooner or later they all will be gone
[01:40.24] Why don't they stay young?
[01:43.12] It's so hard to get old without a cause
[01:47.26] I don't want to perish like a fleeing horse
[01:50.69] Youth's like diamonds in the sun
[01:54.96] And diamonds are forever
[01:57.70] So many adventures couldn't happen today
[02:01.97] So many songs we forgot to play
[02:04.96] So many dreams swinging out of the blue
[02:08.39] We let them come true
[02:12.45] Forever young, I want to be forever young
[02:19.12] Do you really want to live forever
[02:22.53] Forever
[02:23.98] Or never?
[02:26.08] Forever young, I want to be forever young
[02:29.85] Do you really want to live forever
[02:35.77] Forever
[02:36.55] Or never?
[02:40.24] Forever young, I want to be forever young
[02:47.40] Do you really want to live forever?
[02:51.08]
