He said I was in my early 40's,
With a lot of life before me,
And a moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days, lookin' at the x-rays,
Talkin' 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time
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 ya do
And he says,

[Chorus]

I went sky divin',
I went rocky mountain climbin',
I went 27 seconds on a bull name 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 the sudden goin' fishing,
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

[Chorus]

Like tomorrow was a gift and you've got eternity
To think about what you do with it,
What could you do with it, what can
I do with with it, what would I do with it

[Chorus]

Sky divin',
I went rocky mountain climbin',
I went 27 seconds on a bull name Fumanchu
And I loved deeper,
And I spoke sweeter,
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'
And he said someday I hope you get the chance,
To live like you were dyin'

To live like you were dyin'
To live like you were dyin'
To live like you were dyin'
To live like you were dyin'
