Live Like You Were Dying


Was trying to find information on a car window lift controller application for my research, so I:

Google: car window lift state chart
-->
Amazon.com: Friday Night Lights [HD DVD]: "throws his State Championship ring out the car window]"
-->
IMDb: Friday Night Lights
-->
IMDb: Tim McGraw
-->
Google: Live Like You Were Dying

That's the way [my workday] goes, pop goes the weasel.

Live Like You Were Dying
~ 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
and talking '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, whatcha do?"

And he said,
"I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
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 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 of a sudden goin' fishin' 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--"

"I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
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 dyin'."

"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?
And what can I do with it?
And what would I do with it?"

"Sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
And then 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'."
