forever young - Alphaville

originally by Alphaville - the german pop rock from rhein. it was soon covered by laura branigan, and so many others to follow.

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 sand-pit, 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 mad men


forever young, i want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever, and ever?


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 is 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?
