Live Like You Were Dying lyrics

Artist  : Tim McGraw 
Song : Live Like You Were Dying
 


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
and 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 you
when you get that kinda news
man what'd you
do

and he said
I went sky diving
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'd been denying
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 the 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 I'd do if I could do it all
again

and then
I went sky diving
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'd 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 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'

Sky
diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went
2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and then 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
