Live Like You Were Dying (The Voice Performance)

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 And talking about the options, talking 'bout sweet time And I asked him when it sank in That this might really be the real end How's it hit you get that kind of news Man, what'd you do (he said) I went sky divin 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 gave forgiveness I'd 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 'a sudden going fishin' Wasn't such an impostition And I went three time that year I lost my dad And 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 Like tommorrow was a gift And you've 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 climbing I went two point seven 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 one day 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
