I used to sing this gorgeous song to my daughter when she was a little girl. Never did I imagine it would be played at her funeral only 30 years later. She died in a car crash 10 years ago today. Treasure your children while you can, you never know what tomorrow will bring. R.I.L my beautiful Rhiannon.
For your 30th birthday these are my best whishes.May your heart always be joyful and may you alaways keep the power of the child that is in you.Don t let nothing and nobody extinguish the sparkle in your eyes.
I see this song sung by an older woman or Mother to a younger woman or to her daughter, like a prayer. Now at 63 (tomorrow), I pray this hopeful blessing on my daughter and my beautiful Granddaughter's!
You are so right. I first heard this song on the Wonder Years show and it reminds me of my daughter. She is 11 now, but I played this when she first started transitional kindergarten and posted a picture of her first day with the lyrics. 🥺
When you grow older you change your body your mind your understanding of this world and its the same whit songs you hear. I heard this song when i was young (well am not that old now 34) it was peacefull to listen it back then.. sweet melody lovely voice. After 15 years till that day i heard it on the radio and am listening to it now all day. All the best to you good peoples stay safe may god/universe/angels bless you whit all good things. ❤️
This was my dance song with my daughter when she got married two days ago. Many told me it was very emotional. I had a hard time keeping it in too. Just a beautiful perfect song. Thank you Joan. And thank you Bob for writing. another all time great.
To stay Forever Young is to learn, gain knowledge and use wisdom from all our earthly experiences ultimately giving love to all creatures on Earth, thanking God Almighty for “life” as we know it.
Knowledge of God: is the beginning of Wisdom. All of the justice movements of the 60's had Judeo/ Christian roots, like this song and Joan's protégé Jewish Robert Zimmerman ( Bob Dylan)
For Pamela, thank you for the laughter, the awesome years we shared together and your friendship. You will always be in my heart and there you'll be forever young. ❤
I love this song...the lyrics, as you asked our opinion, are just ...perfect. But I think it is important to let know that this is a BOB DYLAN song. Thank you for sharing.
Two weeks go I had contact with my first love . She , married for 52 years and 73 old. And I am 77 years now and divorced . I will send her this wonderful song.
Although this song expresses the singer's wish for the child's FUTURE ("May you ...), it relates, in my opinion, to all time. I know of a beautiful woman who turns 69 today (28 April 2024). When I consider the lyrical power of this song, I think of her in the PAST TENSE. She was once a child who has grown though time into the PRESENT and she has fulfilled all the wishes expressed in the song. I imagine an Angel singing this hauntingly beautiful piece over this child-woman's cradle all those years ago on this day in 1955. I sent her this song as part of my birthday greeting. She's one of the finest human beings I've been blessed to know.
JOAN BAEZ maravilhosa. AMO te ouvir a qualquer hora e a qualquer tempo. É uma delícia. Sua voz gostosa e única me faz muito bem , voz esta de uma delicadeza enorme. ADORO. Beijos no coração para quem curtiu comigo ou não. AMO VOCÊS. SEMPRE
By the way , baby ...on the video about Verdun .I noticed a misstake.They have translated le vois sacre in to the " secret " road instead of the holly road . I couldn' t write any comment . Would you please !
Mean that your mind and soul should not grow tired and compromise with evil for comforts sake.
Thanks For The Comment !

This is are motto that we fought and gained many of the rights many of you have now, we fought & suffered peacefully w/ love.
One of the best songs I've ever heard. Don't know why, when I'm 42 now, it brings tears to my eyes.

Me too!
😢Hello guys, I have 52 and I grew up with these songs, my dead uncle, God bless him was DJ between 72-90...so hard is for me
It brings tears to your eyes for two reasons:
1) Baez' beautiful voice, and
2) You have a tender heart.
Embrace it. :)

Thank you for your comments, people ...
“God is good” !
Beautifully said!
Yes. This song is literally a blessing and a prayer. Its lyrics bestow best wishes and hopes on a loved one.

Of all three versions of this song she does it the best! Love her angelic voice!
Meatloaf!
Timeless, good from 17 to 71, which is my age now. Gerd

For Pamela, thank you for the laughter, the awesome years we shared together and your friendship. You will always be in my heart and there you'll be forever young. ❤
Bob Dylan's beautiful lyrics from Bible scripture combine to Joan Baez' Angelic singing, oh my Heart, Crying, God, talking to us.
I love this song...the lyrics, as you asked our opinion, are just ...perfect. But I think it is important to let know that this is a BOB DYLAN song.
Thank you for sharing.

I am having tears in my eyes listening such a wonderful song with a powerful lyric and a outstanding voice
❤Forever Young
Though you may grow older, keep your heart and mind open. Our anthem in 1974....We were wise then, and even wiser now.
para mi es unica...

Given to my Great Grandson, Benjamin Jungtai Jeffries, on his first birthday❣ May he stay "Forever Young".
Spring Hill College, Mobile, Alabama. 1961 The night I fell in love with a Joan Baez.
One of my favorite songs.
Amo esta canción
I want this played at my funeral
Happy Father's Day dad. The song is about a parent's wish for theirs to stay forever young which is may they be happy in life.
No one sing it like Joan.
JOAN BAEZ maravilhosa. AMO te ouvir a qualquer hora e a qualquer tempo. É uma delícia. Sua voz gostosa e única me faz muito bem , voz esta de uma delicadeza enorme. ADORO. Beijos no coração para quem curtiu comigo ou não. AMO VOCÊS. SEMPRE
August 24th 2024. I only heard Neil Young sing this song I had no idea that Joan Baez wrote the song. I like her version much better.
💗
This was the Judeo- Christian roots that were betrayed by generations to follow. Many are now gone, but some like me soldier on.
Forever young
The Wonder Years episode "Private Butthead" brought me here
This song also feature from the episode “Growing up” when Karen left to college in the end.
Bob Dylan composed "Forever Young" for his children
❤
Lyrics for keep you young

Still a beautiful woman
Light (not Lights)
❤❤ 🇧🇩
