There are several songs that share this title. Bob Dylan began the confusion on his 1974 album "Planet Waves" with two versions of the song. A meandering four minute folk arrangement and a rousing countrified version done in half the time. This one is covered by everyone you would expect such as Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, The Band and The Grateful Dead.
Rod Stewart had a Top 20 hit with his 1988 song. While very different in sound it was thematically and lyrically similar enough that he dodged legal trouble by agreeing to share royalties with Dylan. This one was covered by So They Say on the album "Punk Goes 80s" and can be heard in the season 3 finale of "Glee".
The new-wave group Alphaville released their synth heavy song in 1984. More a dark reflection on mortality than the inspirational anthems previously mentioned. It has been covered 80s ladies Laura Brannigan, Tiffany and Kim Wilde as well as punk bands Bad Influence and McDolly. It is also heavily sampled in the Jay-Z release "Young Forever".
Notable and completely dissimilar songs can also be heard by witty new-wavers Sparks, roots-rockers BoDeans, heavy metal outfit Tyketto and neo-punk band Grasshopper Takeover.

FOREVER YOUNG was written by Rod Stewart, Jim Cregan and Kevin Savigar, but was really a rewrite of the original Who_wrote_the_song_forever_youngof the same name by Bob Dylan.
Rod had written the lyrics as a reference to his children growing up too fast, something he had missed with all the touring at that time, but had unconsciously drawn on the Bob Dylan song when he wrote it. This issue has been settled amicably between the writers.

Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies Hoping for the best but expecting the worst Are you going to drop the bomb dad? Let us die young or let us live forever We don't have the power but we never say never Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip The music's for the sad men Can you imagine when this race is won Turn our faces into the sun Praising our leaders we're getting in tune The music's being played by the madman Forever young, i want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever, or never Forever young, i want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever, or never -Dad's Rap- Forever young, i want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever, or never Forever young, i want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever, or never
