Said I was in my early 40's - With a lot of life before me, When 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, I went sky divin' - I went Rocky Mountain climbin', I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named 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, 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,
