he said i was in my early 40's

with alot of life before me

then a moment came that stopped me on a dime

i spent most of the next days

looking at the x-rays

talkin bout the options

and talkin bout sweet time

i 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..whatcha do...and he said


{chorus}

i went sky divin

i went rocky mountain climbin

i went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Foomanchoo

and i loved deeper and i spoke sweeter

and i gave forgiveness i've been denin'

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 going 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


{chorus}


like tomorrow was a gift

and you got eternity

to think about what you'd do with it

and 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 2.7 seconds on a bull named Foomanchoo

and then i loved deeper and i spoke sweeter

and i watched the eagle as it was flyin

and he said someday i hope you get the chance

to live like you were dyin{x4}
