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 end How's it hit you get that kind of news Man, what'd you do (he said) I went sky divin I went rock mountain climbing I went two point seven 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 one day I hope you get a 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 freined would like to have And all 'a sudden going fishen' Wasn't such an impostition And I went three time that year I lost my dad And I finally read the good book And took a good long hard look At what I'd do if I could do it all again and then I went sky divin I went rock mountain climbing I went two point seven 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 one day I hope you get a chance To live like you were dying Like tommorrow was a gift And you've got eternity to think of what you did with it What you did with it what you did with it what you did with it I went sky divin I went rock mountain climbing I went two point seven seconds on a bull named fumanchu and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter And I watched the need girl that wasn't right And he said one day I hope you get a 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 To live like you were dying
