FOREVER YOUNG AND STRONG

The night is long so please don’t leave now
I don’t want any time alone
I’ve had too many days slip away
Into places once unknown

When I sleep I see the faces
Of our friends dancing in my mind
Sadder still, I’m not the last man known
Living on borrowed time

So, cry for me if you must cry
Pray for me if you must pray
Just cherish me for I will soon be gone
But remember me forever young and strong

Once I was a young man chasing down
Every dream that came my way
And as I lie here breathing hard
I only see those that slipped away

Love came hard and times got tougher
Until your tender heart found mine
I wish there were a hundred years left for this man
Living on borrowed time

So, cry for me if you must cry
Pray for me if you must pray
Just cherish me for I will soon be gone
But remember me forever young and strong

Hear my heartbeat in my chest
I close my eyes to find my rest
Thankful for the ways my life’s been blessed
Feel my kiss upon your face
Our memories, we can’t replace
But oh, how I long for your embrace

The night is long so please don’t leave now
Come lay your head down next to mine
Comfort me though I’m not the last man known
Living on borrowed time

And cry for me if you must cry
Pray for me if you must pray
Just cherish me for I will soon be gone
Dream of me each time you sleep
Hear my laughter when you weep
Just cherish me for I will soon be gone
But, remember me forever young and strong
Remember me forever young and strong

Remember me forever young and strong
Young and strong...
Young and strong...
Young and strong...
Forever young and strong
