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

… Dylan did appear on the Letterman Show, the day following the last Supper Club appearance, to perform a very fine “Forever Young”. It was an unusually assured TV performance by a grandly be-hatted Bob, and a spectacular end to what was by Dylan’s high standards, an indifferent year of touring.

May you grow up to be righteous

Stand upright and be strong

May you stay forever young

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
