会えなくなるって知らずに二度と会えなくなった
別れの言葉告げる間もなくあなたは行った

誰かに出会い誰かと別離れ
儚くも無邪気な夢を繰り返し繰り返し見る

輝き続けることが生きてくことなんだと信じてきた
昔を振り返ってあの頃も良かったそんな風に思えるように
耳に光るダイヤみたいに forever young at heart
Yes forever wow

「この人生がゲームならいいのにやり直せるのに」
大人になってからふとした瞬間に浮かんで消える

なりふり構わず風のナイフで
若さ削りながら走り続けた日々はもう so long

あなたが残したままの永遠に消えはしない灯火がある
思い出の居る場所と現在を共に照らし
明日へと歩いて行ける
胸に光るダイヤみたいに forever young at heart

大好きだった映画の一場面
少年は最期に仲間に
「いつまでも輝きを忘れるな stay gold!」そう言い残した

輝き続けることが生きてくことなんだと信じてきた
昔を振り返ってあの頃も良かったそんな風に思えるように
耳に光るダイヤみたいに forever young at heart
Yes forever young oh forever young at heart
