Lyrics:
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the mad man

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever

Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? (Forever)

Rest in peace all good people who died at a young age or young soul. You are forever young 🕊️

The stupidest thing I did when I was a kid is wish I was an adult.

[brsanchez]

My dad die 7 days ago, this is his favorite song, he died at 55 years, he's always in my heart... I can't continue with my life without him.... But this song was played everyday until he died, Roberto, you're always in my heart, forever, and we never forget you, you're the biggest angel in the sky, heaven can't wait, but god needs you more than me here on the earth. I promise you everything, and one day we become together at paradise. I give you a hug, and i'm going to be with you the rest of the eternity. In heaven....

It’s natural I feel to want to be that bit older when young.. who remembers saying, for example, I’m 8, 1/2, not 8 years. Couldn’t wait to get a driver’s licence, be able to drive yourself to a friend/ friends place, have an 18th birthday, go out to a nightclub, drink alcohol, finish secondary school..not necessarily tell your parents exactly where you are..without truly lying.. just minus the minor details..21st birthday..job, career and so on..oh, now, 4 adult children, divorced and a beautiful career as a HEALTHCARE WORKER, now 63 and wish I could be forever young! Or even younger and know what I know now.
Thank you so much, Alphaville, for this timeless song! Inspiration at its best..almost like you knew how the world would be in each decade to come after you released this song.. amazing!
Thank you.
Love, Wendy from Australia x❤

My brother played this for me once when we were hanging out. We both enjoyed it. Sadly God called him the next year to be his Angel. He was 35 at the time. He will be forever young ❤

I’m an 80s baby. It was a beautiful decade with lots of wonderful memories being a kid. So carefree so simple. So many precious family members were alive then. I’m glad I can listen to music like this without hurting.

I was never academically gifted, and I currently hold a simple job that pays the bills. I’ve achieved nothing of note. But I don’t regret anything or any choices. I am only 40 and forever young at heart even when I’m 70 I will be young. All the best everyone. Don’t regret just unburden your heart and live in the present.

1st August 2024, who still listening this song? ❤

[LOL-cringe]

whoever is reading this, my friend, good mood to you

[RupmujMusic]

It's April 2024, how many people still want to be forever young?

[anonamous-jf]

This song will probably always speak to people no matter the decade or era. The lamentations over the unstoppable and irreversible flow of time is one of the very few things that people of all colors and creeds can experience similarly.

If you are here in 2024, you are a legend

[dasha-]

18 here. Very scared of growing up. Im imagining myself going back to here in like 50 years and just, I don’t know, my heart hurts.

[KC-kpnq]

How older you get, the deeper this masterpiece hits you.

I remember being 19 and listening to this song and being so sad that we can’t be young forever. I promised I would live life to the fullest everyday, 8 years later and I have so many regrets and much time wasted. But you gotta keep trying to live your life to the fullest I won’t stop. To anyone feeling down, live it up .

[penakecil]

Rest In Peace Papa Dali, U are Amazing Father for Kamari and we all love you 🕊️

[SevenUp]

My dad used to play this on the computer every morning. He died in a young age so I guess he will always be 'Forever Young' to me.

[karlhungus]

I was 19 in 1984 and couldn't imagine being 59 but here I am 🙂. Being young in 1984 was a lot easier than being 19 today. We weren't expected to be perfect like the kids today.

[Rollexx]

It's August 2024 those who want to still forever young

[onwheelstorychannel]

I'm still young and forever young 😊

As a 50 year old man, this kinda brings a tear to my eye. Because I squandered so many opportunites. Along with dumb decisions in the name of fun.
The saddest part is friends you didn't know you would see for the last time. And places. people, events, and experiences you had. Along with the pure enjoyment of just life in general.
As I listen to this song and write this, I'm thinking of the good times and bad. Knowing I will never ever experience those again. Knowing the last time I truly enjoyed life was in the 90s, even tho this timeless song is from the 80s.
So as I'm completely tear up, I hope you enjoy the short time we have left.
