The Last Waltz

You should put The Last Waltz on your Netflix queue for sure if you haven't already seen it. It's a documentary directed by Martin Scorsese about the last concert of The Band. So many of the greats performed.

John and I watched it tonight. It was awesome.

I included the lyrics to Forever Young. I had never heard the original version before tonight. It gave me a new appreciation for the song because until tonight listening to Bob Dylan singing these lyrics, I never really heard it. I actually cried listening to it.


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
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

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
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

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
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.


John found it on youtube...with Spanish subtitles...

I cry every time I hear that song. I don't know that I've ever heard of that movie though. I'll put it onto the list. The ever growing, never shrinking list.
