Forever Young

After the tears had dried up, I decided to give one of my all-time favourite song, the 80s anthem, "Forever Young", a listen. This song was Alphaville's second big hit after "Big In Japan". The lyrics can be depressing, but I just love the chorus! The dance version is much better. I am sure many of you remember this song, especially those who grew up in the 80s, music's best-ever decade.

FOREVER YOUNG

let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
hoping for the best but expecting the worst
are you going to 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 madmen
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 are swinging out of the blue
we let them come true
