Lyrics
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
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
I spent most of the next days
Looking at the X-rays
And 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 kind of news?
Man, what'd you do?"
And he said
"I went skydiving, I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
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 dying" (to live like you were dying)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh
He said, "I was finally the husband
Most of the time I wasn't
I became a friend, a friend would like to have (to have)
And all of a sudden goin' fishing
Wasn't such an imposition
And I went three 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 skydiving, I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
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 dying (dying)
Like tomorrow was a gift (like tomorrow was a gift), and you've got eternity (ah)
To think about (to think about) what you'd do with it (what you'd do with it?)
What could you do with it? (What could you do with it?)
What would I do with it? (What did I do? What did I do?)
What did I do with it?
Skydiving, I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu (Fu Manchu)
And I loved deeper, and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I've been denying" (denying)
And he said, "Someday I hope you get the chance
(Someday I hope you get the chance)
Oh, someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying"
To live like you were dying
To live, to live, to live
Ha-ah-ha-ah
