From the recording Spinning wheel
Lyrics
FOREVER YOUNG
There’s a photo on the wall
In the corner of the hall
It’s fading like an old-time memory
There’s a grandpa and a mother
Two sisters and a brother
And children making up this
Family
And I can’t explain why
One day it caught my eye
It was the time when I lost all my belief
I was down I must confess
My life was in a mess
Feeling fragile like a falling autumn leaf
Forever young
Is how you feel
You don’t hear
Time’s spinning wheel
Now I’m near the end of my life, she said
Let me give you some advice
Yesterday’s a dream, honey
Tomorrow stays unseen
but today is the best day of your life
Oh the best day of your life
So I asked Aunt Madeline
To explain the forgotten scene
And she told me about a time before the war
There were singers, soldiers, brides
But now passed on she sighed
And that’s me the little girl sat on the floor
Forever young
Is how you feel
You don’t hear
Time’s spinning wheel
Now I’m near the end of my life, she said
Let me give you some advice
Yesterday’s a dream, honey
Tomorrow stays unseen
but today is the best day of your life
Oh the best day of your life
Yesterday’s a dream, honey
Tomorrow stays unseen
but today is the best day of your life
Oh the best day of your life
The best day of your life
