i know lots of adults with childlike qualities, and i'm not so sure for them it's a good thing.

Bob Dylan......Forever Young

Forever Young -----------> Rod the mod Stewart

Oh! So Rod wrote it and not Bob?

You gotta trust Brenda on music. She knows everything about every band. The girls a walking music encyclopedia. When she gets to 2000 posts, I have dreamed up a commemorative thread for her that will showcase her incredible music knowledge.

Oh yes, I do trust Brenda! I saw her in action on that music contest we had. Shes amazing!!

There are two songs, amazingly similar but not the same, called Forever Young. One by Dylan and one by Rod the mod...

Now that I have a swiss cheese brain - and a touch of the oldtimers...- perhaps I am not as brilliant as I once was. Just trying to lower your expectations a little. But as long as I have google, and my CD collection, I am in pretty good shape.

Brenda, so did each of them write their own version of the song, Forever Young? Or is Dylan's a "remake" of Rod St?

My only question is:

Why don't women ever remember to put the seat back up when their through using the toilet.

Forever Young (Bob Dylan)


May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

Then in the 80s, Rod the Mod and his bandmates rewrote it and recorded it, making it his most requested song from the 80s.

May the good lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when youre far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As youd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart youll always stay
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
With a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young
Forever young

And when you finally fly away
Ill be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
Im right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young
Forever young ,forever young
Forever young, forever young
For, forever young, forever young



Glad you asked, because I learned something today!

Beautiful lyrics, both of them.
Thanks Brenda...

Good one Joe! LOL

Joe is being a troublemaker. And I thought that was my job.

Joe,
At my house, not only the seat but the lid must be returned to the downright position
as Pepe (my beloved Bischon) finds the fixture to be a drinking fountain. Also I trained "Old What's His Name" to sit for all functions so urine would not dribble down the front of the toilet. Who says I am OCD???

Oooohhh, Marly, I'm sure that little white dog you have there is very nice, but he's got a mean look in his eye. Let me just reach down there and pet him, "hey little fella..WHOAAA!" "Little rascal ain't timid, is he?"

Bill,
Pepe was not really happy about the collar! He, too, is OCD and had licked his legs till they were raw! Here's another in which he doesn't look viscious but somewhat depressed.
Love & hugs,
Marlys
P.S. The football belongs to "Old What's His Name".
