Live Before You Die
|
|
I was a little boy of 9 years old
|
The whole world in his hands
|
Trying to toss that ball across the yard
|
A game of catch with my old man
|
He would always say I'm sorry
|
Every time he had to leave
|
And I was much too young to understand
|
When he would say to me
|
|
When you're young, you always think
|
The sun is going to shine
|
There will come a day when you have to say hello to Goodbye
|
Sit on down son take my hand
|
Look me in the eye
|
Take these words, promise me
|
You'll live before you die
|
|
I was barely seventeen, summer of seventy-nine
|
Already I was feeling like I was running out of time
|
I had this girl, we fell in love
|
or Should I say that she had me
|
Then one fateful night changed our lives
|
And made a memory
|
|
When you're young, you always think
|
The sun is going to shine
|
There will come a day when you have to say hello to Goodbye
|
She laid me down, she took my hand
|
Looked me in the eye
|

|
And just before she kissed me she said
|
You got to live before you die
|
Live before you die
|
|
You learn to love, to live
|
You fight and you forgive
|
You learn what's wrong and right
|
You Live before you die
|
|
I made mistakes, I caught some breaks
|
But I got no regrets
|
There's some things I don't remember
|
But one thing I don't forget
|
|
When you're young, you always think
|
The sun is going to shine
|
One day you're going to have to say hello to Goodbye
|
Shout it out, let someone somewhere know you're alive
|
Take these words wear them well
|
Live before you die
|
|
Live before you die
|
Hey
|
Live before you die
|
|
You learn to love, to live
|
You fight and you forgive
|
You face the darkest night
|
Just live before you die
|
