I'm Gonna Live 'til I Die
Frankie Laine · Other Songs - Frankie Laine
I'm gonna laugh 'stead of cry.
I'm gonna take the town and turn it upside down
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die.
They're gonna say "What a guy!"
I'm gonna play for the sky
Ain't gonna miss a thing I'm gonna have my fling
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die.
The blues 'll lay low I'll make 'em stay low
They'll never trail over my head.
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel,
But until then, Hallelujah! Gonna dance, gonna fly.
I'll take a chance ridin' high.
Before my number's up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live, live, live until I die.
I'm gonna live till I die,
I'm gonna laugh 'stead of cry.
I'm gonna take the town and turn it upside down
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die.
They're gonna say "What a guy!"
I'm gonna play for the sky
Ain't gonna miss a thing I'm gonna have my fling
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die.
The blues 'll lay low I'll make 'em stay low
They'll never trail over my head.
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel,
But until then, Hallelujah! Gonna dance, gonna fly.
I'll take a chance ridin' high.
Before my number's up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live, live, live until I die.
