Forever Young
SONG COMPOSERS, LYRICS AND BACKGROUND
LYRICS
There was a time when I was younger
And all the nights and days were long
And everyday just getting stronger
Like a sunflower in the sun
In the sun
Well, Mr. Moon was counting backwards
Make the waters ebb and flow
And all the things we could and should’ve done
But them old regrets, well, they’ll come and go
Just come and go
So, stay forever young
Don’t you do
What I have done
Oh, stay forever young
Before paradise’s lost
And innocence gone
See the freshness of your young face
Like a candle in the gloom
And the brightness of your smiling eyes
They’re lighting up the room
The whole room
So, stay forever young
Don’t you do
What I have done
Oh, stay forever young
Before paradise’s lost
And innocence gone
Oh, stay forever young
Don’t you do
What I have done
Oh, stay forever young
Before paradise’s lost
And innocence gone
Before paradise’s lost
And innocence gone
So, stay forever young
Don’t you do
What I have done
Oh, stay forever young
Before paradise’s lost
And innocence gone
Oh, stay forever young
Don’t you do
What I have done
Oh, stay forever young
Before paradise’s lost
And innocence gone
Before paradise’s lost
And innocence gone

BACKGROUND
The band presented several songs from their latest album, “The Liberty of Norton Folgate,” in three concerts held at London’s Hackney Empire in June 2008. One of the songs that they played was ‘Forever Young,’ featuring a melodious tune. Suggs wrote the song as another tribute to childhood, with a key refrain: “Before paradise lost and innocence gone.” The song evokes a more innocent spirit of teenage naivete.
