forever young

it was you and me sitting in an apple tree, at the summers end we were only 17, we held on so tight that september night, then you promised me, we're never getting older, we're never gonna be that way, remember when i told ya, we would make it out someday, let them say we're crazy 'cause we've already won, when you promised me we'd be forever young, i got your letter i can't seem to put it down, it makes it better to have a piece of you around, they're all just strangers their words don't mean a thing, i swear i'll die here i swear that i'd do anything, to be back again at the summer's end, when you promised me, we're never getting older, we're never gonna be that way, remember when i told ya, we would make it out someday, let them say we're crazy 'cause we've already won, when you promised me we'd be forever, sooner or later times gets the best of you, i should have known better you gotta do what you gotta do, if i had me a river i'd sit and watch it run by, i'd never let it run dry i'm never gonna say goodbye, we're never getting older, we're never gonna be that way, remember when i told ya, we would make it out someday, they still say we're crazy and i still say we won, when you promised me we'd be forever young, forever young, forever young, forever young, forever young, forever young
