Live Like You Were Dying

作曲 : Tim Nichols Craig Wiseman

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

I spent most of the next days

Looking at the x-rays and 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 you when you get that kind of news?

Man,what'd you do?" And he said

"I went skydiving,I went Rocky Mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds

On a bull named Fu Mand Chu

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 dying."

He said "I was a finally the husband

the most of the time I wasn't

And I became a friend a friend would like to have

Wasn't suck an imposition.And I went three times that year I lost me 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

"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've been denying"

And he said,Someday I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dying

Like tomorrow was a gift, and you've got eternity

To think about what you'd do with it

What could you do with it

What would I do with it?

What did 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 gave forgiveness I've been denying"

And he said, "Someday I hope you get the chance

Oh Someday I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dying

To live like you were dying
