Actually Bob's Forever Young was a whole different songs. They had a court meeting and the court ruled there weren't enough similarities. Jim Cregan and Rod wrote the song.
My name is Jim Cregan and the song was developed in the studio from a melody idea that I had. Kevin Savigar (keyboards) helped finish the music and Rod Stewart wrote the lyric. Later we found Rod had unwittingly used two lines of a Bob Dylan lyric and ended up giving Dylan a chunk of the song and a credit. So accidentally I can now say I wrote a hit song with Bob.... :)

THAT IS WRONG. The song WAS plagiarized, Rod Stewart ADMITTED that he accidentally and subconsciously plagiarized the song (it happens, i have written full songs and realized after-the-fact that I had subconsciously stolen a hook or verse from something I'd heard before)
ROD HAPPILY GAVE BOB HALF OF THE MONEY HE EARNED FROM THE SONG.
ROD ISN'T A THIEF, HE IS A TOTALLY AWESOME DUDE THAT OWNED UP TO HIS MISTAKE :)

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
And 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
For, Forever Young, Forever Young
