Live Like You Were Dying

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He said, "I was in my early 40's With a lot of life before me When 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" I 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'd ya do? And he said [Chorus 1] I went sky divin' I went Rocky Mountain climbin' I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu And I loved deeper And I spoke sweeter And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying And he said someday I hope you get the chance To live like you were dyin' [Verse 2] 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, 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 1] I went sky divin' I went Rocky Mountain climbin' I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu 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' [Bridge] Like tomorrow was a gift and you've got eternity To think about what to do with it What did you do with it What did I do with with it What would I do with it [Chorus 2] Sky divin' I went Rocky Mountain climbin' I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu 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' [Outro] To live like you were dyin' To live like you were dyin' To live like you were dyin' To live like you were dyin'
