Live Like You Were Dying

He said I was in my early fourties

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

and talkin' 'bout the options

and talkin' bout sweet time

I asked him when it sank in and

this might be the really real end

I said how's it hit ya

when you get that kinda news?

Man what'd ya do?

and he said



CHORUS

I went sky diving i went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds

on a bull named Fumanchu

And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter

and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying

and he said some day I hope you get the chance

to live like you were dying



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 'a sudden going fishin'

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



I went sky diving i went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds

on a bull named Fumanchu

And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter

and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying

and he said some day I hope you get the chance

to live like you were dying



like tomorrow was a gift

and you got eternity

to think about what'd you do with it.

what did you do with it.

what did I do with it?

what would I do with it?



Sky diving i went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds

on a bull named Fumanchu

And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter

and I watched an eagle as it was flying

and he said some day I hope you get the chance

to live like you were dying X 5

Whoo!
