Live Like You Were Dyin’

“Live Like You Were Dyin’”

He said I was in my early 40’s, With a lot of life before me, And a moment came that stopped me on a dime. I spent most of the next days, lookin’ at the x-rays, Talkin’ ’bout the options and talkin’ ’bout sweet time. Asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end. How’s it hit ya, when you get that kind of news. Man what ya do. And he says, [Chorus] I went sky divin’, I went rocky mountain climbin’, I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fumanchu. And I loved deeper, And I spoke sweeter, And I gave forgiveness I’ve been denying, And he said someday I hope you get the chance, To live like you were dyin’. He said I was finally the husband, That most the time I wasn’t. And I became a friend a friend would like to have. And all the sudden goin’ fishing, Wasn’t such an imposition. And I went three times that year I lost my dad. Well I finally read the good book, And I took a good long hard look at what I’d do If I could do it all again. And then. [Chorus] Like tomorrow was a gift and you’ve got eternity To think about what you do with it, What could you do with it, what can I do with with it, what would I do with it. [Chorus] Sky divin’, I went rocky mountain climbin’, I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fumanchu. And I loved deeper, And I spoke sweeter, And I watched an eagle as it was flyin’. And he said someday I hope you get the chance, To live like you were dyin’. To live like you were dyin’. To live like you were dyin’. To live like you were dyin’. To live like you were dyin’.

    This is a great song, and it really makes you think. If I could do anything before I die, I would like to find true love and get married and have a family. I would also like to join the peace corp. Anyways… Nice Blog. :)

    HEllo, mack , this could be true if you thought that you were dying, you might go do what you never had done before becasue you dont have a lot of time left.
