Live Like You Were Dying

Live Like You Were Dying - The Hit Crew

Said I was in my early forties

With a lot of life before me

When a moment came that stopped me on a dime

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 'cha when you get that kind of news

Man what'd ya do

And he said

I went skydiving

I went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

And I loved deeper

And I spoke sweeter

And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'

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 of a sudden goin' 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 skydiving

I went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

And I loved deeper

And I spoke sweeter

And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'

And he said Someday I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dyin'

Like tomorrow was a gift

And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it

What did you do with it

What did I do with it

What would I do with it

Skydiving

I went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

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'
