Song '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,
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 you
When you get that kind of news?
Man, what'd you do?"

He said,
"I went skydiving,
I went Rocky Mountain climbing,
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Blue Manchu,
And I loved deeper,
And I spoke sweeter,
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
And he said,
"Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying."

He said,
"I was finally the husband,
That most of the time I wasn't,
And I became a friend a friend would like to have.
And all of a sudden going fishin'
Wasn't such an imposition,
And I went three times that year I lost my dad.
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'd been denying."
And he said,
"Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying,
Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you've got eternity
To think about
What you'd do with it ,
What could you do with it,
What did I do with it?
What would I do with it?

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 watched an eagle as it was flying."
And he said,
"Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying,
To live like you were dying,
To live like you were dying."
