May God bless and keep you always.
May your wishes all come true.
May you always do for others, and others do for you.

And may you stay, forever young
Forever young, forever young.
May you stay, hey hey, forever young

Never knew Robin Wright was such a beautiful singer.

@NelsonRodrigoMartins

The Congress is a cinematic poem. A very moving film about human existence and you must watch. The backgroung score, I would say, musically influenced by Forever Young, fits perfectly.
