Anneski Lyrics: Live Like You Were Dying

by Tim McGraw

He said I was in my early forties
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 doAnd he says

****I went sky divin'I went rocky mountain climbin'
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fu man chu
And I loved deeperAnd 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 dadWell 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 thenLike tomorrow was a gift and you've got eternity
To think about what you do with it
What could you do with it, what canI do with it, what would I do with it

***Sky divin'I went rocky mountain climbin'
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fu man chu
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'
