Live Like You Were Dying (AC mix)

He said, "I was in my early 40s

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 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 ya 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 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fumanchu

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 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, 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 Fumanchu

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 dyin'"

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?

Skydiving

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, "Someday, I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dyin'"

Live like you were dyin'

Live like you were dyin'

Live like you were dyin'

Live like you were dyin'
