Live Like You’re Dying

Posted on August 20, 2004September 27, 2015 By Doriano No Comments on Live Like You’re Dying

Have any of you heard this new song by Tim McGraw called “Live like you were dyin'”???
It really puts things in perspective and very moving. It’s even more touching because Tim lost his dad (former Major League pitcher Tug McGraw)to brain cancer not that long ago!

The song makes you think about what you want out of life. What have you done with it? What do you want to do with it?
What if you were dying? News flash… All of us are dying right now! Our lives are but a mere blip on the radar of eternity.
Get busy living or get busy dying (what movie is that line from?)

Go here to watch the music video:


Here are the lyrics:
“Live Like You Were Dyin'”
Tim McGraw

He said I was in my early 40’s,
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 do.
And he says,

[Chorus]

I went sky divin’,
I went rocky mountain climbin’,
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name 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 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 dad.
Well 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’ve got eternity
To think about what you do with it,
What could you do with it, what can
I do with with it, what would I do with it.

[Chorus]
Sky divin’,
I went rocky mountain climbin’,
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fu Manchu.
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’.
