Patrick Riley
Absolutely ... "Forever Young" has been my favorite song for ~50 years. I still listen to it almost every day (the Joan Baez version ... better than Dylan's). Still ... Dylan, as the writer, deserves most of the credit.
Carl Sandburg may have been our parent's poet laureate but I truly believe Bob Dylan was ours!
See Forever Young lyrics below. Sad, though, none of us have stayed "forever young".
May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
