Beth Hart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Beth Hart / Rune Westberg / James Thomas]
Album: 37 Days (2007)
It was you and me
Sitting in an apple tree
We were only seventeen
We held on so tight, that September night
Then you promised me
[Chorus:]
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 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
They still say we're crazy and I still say we won
When you promised me, we'd be forever young
Sooner or later-time gets the best of you
I should've 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
The song Forever Young by Beth Hart is about a love that was promised to never age or grow old. The lyrics tell a story of two people, who were only seventeen, sitting in an apple tree at the end of summer. The couple promised each other that they would always be young and never grow old. The chorus repeats this sentiment, with the lyrics stating that they will never become older and will always be young at heart. The verses describe the girl receiving a letter from her lover, who promises to never forget about her and that they will always be together. She holds onto the letter because it reminds her of the love they shared and the promise they made to stay young forever.
The message of the song is about holding onto youthful innocence, to never let go of the optimistic and hopeful spirit of young love. The lyrics emphasize that despite the ups and downs of life, it’s important to remember the promises we make to each other when we’re young, and to hold onto the moments that gave us the hope and belief in the endless possibility of the future. The song is about the power of love, and how it can create a sense of immortality and timelessness.

Your words make me feel alive, and they give me hope for the future.
To have a piece of you around
Having something that reminds me of you, even if it's just a letter, makes me feel less alone in this world.
They're all just strangers
Everyone else seems so distant and disconnected from me, like they're not even worth knowing.
Their words don't mean a thing
Other people's opinions and advice are meaningless to me, as they don't understand what we have together.
I swear I'll die here

Sooner or later-time gets the best of you
Eventually, time catches up to you and you have to face the fact that things change and people grow older.
I should've known better-you gotta do what you gotta do
I wish I had realized sooner that you can't avoid growing up and making tough choices, even if it means leaving behind what you hold dear.
If I had me a river
If I could have anything, it would be a peaceful and constant stream of memories, where I could always remember the moments we shared that made us feel truly happy.

I would sit and let these memories play out in my mind, cherishing every moment.
I'd never let it run dry
I would hold on to these memories forever, never letting go of what brought me joy.
I'm never gonna say goodbye
No matter how much time passes, I will never forget the promises we made to each other, and I will never let go of what we shared.

"Joven para siempre"
Fuimos tú y yo sentados en un manzano
En el final de los veranos sólo teníamos 17
Nos mantuvimos tan apretados
Aquella noche de septiembre
Entonces me prometiste.
Nunca estaremos envejeciendo
Nunca vamos a ser así
Recuerda cuando te dije
Lo haríamos algún día
Deja que digan que estamos locos
Porque ya hemos ganado
Cuando me prometiste
que seríamos siempre jóvenes.
Recibí tu carta,
Al parecer no puedo dejarla
Hace que sea mucho mejor
El tener un pedazo de ti a mi alrededor
Son todos extraños
Sus palabras no significan nada
Juro que moriré aquí,
Juro que haría cualquier cosa
Estar de vuelta al final del verano
Cuando me prometiste.
Nunca estaremos envejeciendo
Nunca vamos a ser así
Recuerda cuando te dije
Lo haríamos algún día
Deja que digan que estamos locos
Porque ya hemos ganado
Cuando me prometiste
que seríamos siempre jóvenes.
Tarde o temprano, obtiene lo mejor
Deberíamos haber sabido que ...
Tenemos que hacer lo que hays que hacer
Si yo tuviera un río me sentaría
Y lo vería recorrer
Nunca lo dejaría correr seco
Nunca voy a decirte adiós.
Nunca estaremos envejeciendo
Nunca vamos a ser así
Recuerda cuando te dije
Lo haríamos algún día
Deja que digan que estamos locos
Porque ya hemos ganado
Cuando me prometiste
que seríamos siempre jóvenes .....
Joven para siempre
Joven para siempre
Joven para siempre
Joven para siempre
Joven para siempre.

" Joven para siempre "
Que dios te bendiga y te proteja siempre
Que todos tus deseos se hagan realidad
Que siempre hagas por otros
Y dejes que los otros hagan por ti.
Que construyas una escalera a las estrellas
Y subas siempre cada escalón
Que permanezcas por siempre joven
Joven para siempre, joven para siempre
Que permanezcas por siempre joven.
Que crezcas para ser una persona justa
Que crezcas para ser alguien verdadero
Que siempre sepas la verdad
Y veas la luz a tu alrededor.
Que siempre tengas el coraje
De levantarte y ser fuerte
Y que permanezcas por siempre joven
Joven para siempre, joven para siempre
Que permanezcas por siempre joven.
Que tus manos siempre sean ocupadas
Que tus pierna sean siempre rápidos
Que tengas una solida formación
Cuando los vientos del cambio soplen.
Que tu corazón siempre este alegre
Que tu canción siempre se cantará,
Y que permanezcas por siempre joven
Joven para siempre, joven para siempre
Que permanezcas por siempre joven.
