Mommy Shared these words with me when I was in the hospital in highschool. Joan Baez has the most beautiful voice! Miss you mommy

I used to sing this gorgeous song to my daughter when she was a little girl. Never did I imagine it would be played at her funeral only 30 years later. She died in a car crash 10 years ago today. Treasure your children while you can, you never know what tomorrow will bring. R.I.L my beautiful Rhiannon.

[@liliangunn5737]

I played this song at my husbands funeral too. God bless you, it must have been very hard for you. Love from Glasgow Scotland ❤❤

[@michaelhalsall5684]

Joan Baez has the voice of an angel, no-one does a better version of this beautiful song!

[@laralarah2236]

Amen. The voice of an angel.

[@conniewaterman1673]

I see this song sung by an older woman or Mother to a younger woman or to her daughter, like a prayer. Now at 63 (tomorrow), I pray this hopeful blessing on my daughter and my beautiful Granddaughter's!

[@087moongoddess]

You are so right. I first heard this song on the Wonder Years show and it reminds me of my daughter. She is 11 now, but I played this when she first started transitional kindergarten and posted a picture of her first day with the lyrics. 🥺

[@paulavish5482]

One of the best songs I've ever heard. Don't know why, when I'm 42 now, it brings tears to my eyes.

[@carabooth3485]

Same here. I'm crying right now

[@skwol5184]

When you grow older you change your body your mind your understanding of this world and its the same whit songs you hear. I heard this song when i was young (well am not that old now 34) it was peacefull to listen it back then.. sweet melody lovely voice. After 15 years till that day i heard it on the radio and am listening to it now all day. All the best to you good peoples stay safe may god/universe/angels bless you whit all good things. ❤️

[@sharonrussell424]

Me too!

[@robertc7093]

😢Hello guys, I have 52 and I grew up with these songs, my dead uncle, God bless him was DJ between 72-90...so hard is for me

[@virginiapaigelove5307]

It brings tears to your eyes for two reasons: 1) Baez' beautiful voice, and 2) You have a tender heart. Embrace it. :)

[@aliceinwonderland7594]

here we are May 2024. Legendary Joan 🌻🌼

[@TheGregory99]

This was my dance song with my daughter when she got married two days ago. Many told me it was very emotional. I had a hard time keeping it in too. Just a beautiful perfect song. Thank you Joan. And thank you Bob for writing. another all time great.

[@michele.m6542]

For your 30th birthday these are my best whishes.May your heart always be joyful and may you alaways keep the power of the child that is in you.Don t let nothing and nobody extinguish the sparkle in your eyes.

[@SJ-dg7ih]

Of all three versions of this song she does it the best! Love her angelic voice!

[@leeflea2874]

Meatloaf!

[@ramonaltamirano1549]

I love you Joan Baez. I first heard you at Sac State as a high school senior. Wanted to meet you because you are a true superstar.

[@joanphyllisgreen4887]

To stay Forever Young is to learn, gain knowledge and use wisdom from all our earthly experiences ultimately giving love to all creatures on Earth, thanking God Almighty for “life” as we know it.

[@joanphyllisgreen4887]

Thank you for your comments, people ... “God is good” !

[@dixielandholton9648]

Beautifully said!

[@caballero3601]

Yes. This song is literally a blessing and a prayer. Its lyrics bestow best wishes and hopes on a loved one.

[@robertmcginness4610]

Knowledge of God: is the beginning of Wisdom. All of the justice movements of the 60's had Judeo/ Christian roots, like this song and Joan's protégé Jewish Robert Zimmerman ( Bob Dylan)

[@robertmcginness4610]

This is are motto that we fought and gained many of the rights many of you have now, we fought & suffered peacefully w/ love.

[@ahmedzakaria5898]

lovely song. joan baez is awesome

[@sherryweeks5956]

Though you may grow older, keep your heart and mind open. Our anthem in 1974....We were wise then, and even wiser now.

[@elbuendespota9960]

I am having tears in my eyes listening such a wonderful song with a powerful lyric and a outstanding voice

[@gerddornwald2451]

Timeless, good from 17 to 71, which is my age now. Gerd

[@robenow]

Thanks for posting this! She sings it like a prayer 🙏

[@La_Ru-yg8es]

😭🙏🏻🙏🏻 Yes. Yes, she does. You describe this so aptly!!

[@AllangdiMokum]

Two weeks go I had contact with my first love . She , married for 52 years and 73 old. And I am 77 years now and divorced . I will send her this wonderful song.

[@haydees.o7094]

❤Forever Young

[@sharonrussell424]

Bob Dylan's beautiful lyrics from Bible scripture combine to Joan Baez' Angelic singing, oh my Heart, Crying, God, talking to us.

[@zepp2498]

I love this song...the lyrics, as you asked our opinion, are just ...perfect. But I think it is important to let know that this is a BOB DYLAN song. Thank you for sharing.

[@marinecorpswarrior915]

For Pamela, thank you for the laughter, the awesome years we shared together and your friendship. You will always be in my heart and there you'll be forever young. ❤

[@dixielandholton9648]

Given to my Great Grandson, Benjamin Jungtai Jeffries, on his first birthday❣ May he stay "Forever Young".

[@pacomacias-f3m]

para mi es unica...

[@charliewest1221]

Although this song expresses the singer's wish for the child's FUTURE ("May you ...), it relates, in my opinion, to all time. I know of a beautiful woman who turns 69 today (28 April 2024). When I consider the lyrical power of this song, I think of her in the PAST TENSE. She was once a child who has grown though time into the PRESENT and she has fulfilled all the wishes expressed in the song. I imagine an Angel singing this hauntingly beautiful piece over this child-woman's cradle all those years ago on this day in 1955. I sent her this song as part of my birthday greeting. She's one of the finest human beings I've been blessed to know.

[@rocking1624]

Spring Hill College, Mobile, Alabama. 1961 The night I fell in love with a Joan Baez.

[@freemiranda]

One of my favorite songs.

Amo esta canción

[@cathytrifeletti1915]

[@RB-pm2ni]

I want this played at my funeral

[@tyvin8]

Happy Father's Day dad. The song is about a parent's wish for theirs to stay forever young which is may they be happy in life.

[@angelcosmic145]

💗

[@robertmcginness4610]

This was the Judeo- Christian roots that were betrayed by generations to follow. Many are now gone, but some like me soldier on.

[@knice9336]

Forever young

[@carmanl.waltman4109]

August 24th 2024. I only heard Neil Young sing this song I had no idea that Joan Baez wrote the song. I like her version much better.

[@valguimaraesguimaraes5859]

JOAN BAEZ maravilhosa. AMO te ouvir a qualquer hora e a qualquer tempo. É uma delícia. Sua voz gostosa e única me faz muito bem , voz esta de uma delicadeza enorme. ADORO. Beijos no coração para quem curtiu comigo ou não. AMO VOCÊS. SEMPRE

[@BigDan5309]

What about me 68 years old ...
