He said I was in my early 40's, With a lot of life before me, When a moment came and stopped me on a dime. I spent most of the next days, Lookin' at the x-rays, And talkin' 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time I asked him when it sank in, This might really be the real end, How's it hit you, When you get that kinda news? Man whatcha do? He said....... I went sky divin' I went Rocky Mountain climbin' I went 2 point 7 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 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 a sudden goin' fishin', Wasn't such an imposition, And I went 3 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 sky divin' I went Rocky Mountain climbin' I went 2 point 7 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 Dying Like tomorrow was a gift, And you got eternity To think about what you'd do with it What did you do with it? What did I do with it? What would I do with it? I went sky divin' I went Rocky Mountain climbin' I went 2 point 7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu 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 Dying To live like you were dying To live like you were dying To live like you were dying To live like you were dying To live like you were dying
