Title : Live Like You Were Dying
Album : Live Like You Were Dying
He said, I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me when a moment came that stopped me on a dime and I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays Talking bout the options and talking bout sweet time I asked him when it sank in that this might really be the real end how's it hit you when you get that kinda news man what'd you do? (Chorus) and he said I went sky diving I went Rocky Mountain climbing I went 2.7 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. Someday 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 the sudden going 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 (Chorus) 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? (Chorus)
