Young And Beautiful

Lana Del Rey · Other Songs - Lana Del Rey

I've seen the world, done it all, had my cake now

Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel-Air now

Hot summer nights, mid-July

When you and I were forever wild

The crazy days, city lights

The way you'd play with me like a child



Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?

I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?



I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now

Channeling angels in the new age now

Hot summer days, rock and roll

The way you'd play for me at your show

And all the ways I got to know

Your pretty face and electric soul



Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?

I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?



Dear Lord, when I get to Heaven

Please let me bring my man

When he comes, tell me that you'll let him in

Father, tell me if you can

All that grace, all that body

All that face

Makes me wanna party

He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds



And will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?

I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful?

Released during the height of her early career, the track embodies the 'dream pop' genre, characterized by its nostalgic atmosphere and themes of lost youth and romantic longing. The song features a haunting melody that has become a staple in her discography, often associated with the darker, more introspective moods found in her work from the early 2010s.
