Old friends, what has become of you, my soulmate? How come you seem so blue? We both believed in happy endings Oh, we never stopped pretending to have fun Old friends, don't you remember me, my true love? You've loved so tenderly, we've shared the ragging days together Thought that we would stay forever young Forever young, forever young, it seemed to be so plain We'll be never gone, be never gone, we took it for a game But we did not know the rules And it made us both look like a fool My confidence, will you keep my secret safe? I promise you, I'll take yours to my grave If there's one thing we now know better Is that we won't stay forever young Forever young, forever young, it seemed to be so plain We'll be never gone, be never gone, we took it for a game But we did not know the rules And it made us both look like a fool My confidence, will you keep my secret safe? Forever young, forever young, it seemed to be so plain We'll be never gone, be never gone, we took it for a game Forever young, forever young, it seemed to be so plain We'll be never gone, be never gone, we took it for a game We did not know the rules And it made us both look like a fool
