OT - One of my FAVORITE songs (lyrics)

I absolutely love the song "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart - I really wanted to have it played for my kids' baptisms, but it seemed a bit sacreligious at the time...

Just heard the song on the radio, so I had to share the lyrics.  My wish for my kids -

May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam.
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home.
And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true.
And do unto others as you'd have done to you.
Be courageous and be brave,
And in my heart you'll 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
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, I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime, no one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose, I'm right behind you - win or lose,

Forever young (Forever young)
Forever young (Forever young)
Forever young (Forever young)
Forever young

When my niece graduated from college my sister had a video slide show put together of her life with this song as the background music.  Made me cry everytime I watched it.
