Louisa Johnson covered Bob Dylan’s classic hit “Forever Young” on the X Factor.
It was released as a single immediately after Johnson won the competition in 2015.
Her version is a homage to the original, showcasing Louisa’s vocal range, despite her only being 18.
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
And may you stay forever young
And may you stay forever young
[Verse 2]
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
[Chorus]
May you stay forever young
And may you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
And may you stay forever young
[Verse 3]
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
[Chorus]
May you stay forever young
And may you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
And may you stay forever young
