Live Like You Were Dying
				  			 
He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me 
          	            	          
and 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 talkin' 'bout sweet time

			 
I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end 
               			             
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news, man what'cha do


I went sky diving
            	
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 id been denying 
				         			           		
and he said some day 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 of a sudden going 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 id do if I could do it all again and then...

I went sky diving
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 id been denying 
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying

Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about what you'd do with it
What could you do with it
What could I do with it
What would I do with it

Chorus
To live like you were dying x 4
