Live Like You Were Dying...

Tim McGraw

He said I was in my early forties
With a lot of life before me
When a moment came that stopped
me on a dime
And I spent most of the next days
Looking at the x-rays
And talking ‘bout the options, talking
‘bout sweet time
And I asked him when it sank in
That this might really be the end
How’s it hit ya’ when you get that
kind of news
Man, what’d you do (he said)
C H O R U S
I went sky diving I went rocky
mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a
bull named Fumanchu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I’d been denying
And he said one day I hope you get a
chance
To live like you were dying
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 ‘a sudden going fishin’
Wasn’t such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost
my dad
And 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
C H O R U S
Like tomorrow was a gift
And you’ve got eternity to think of what
you did with it
What you did with it…what did I do with it
C H O R U S

Note:  in my opinion this iis the way we all shall live … don’t waiit until tomorrow to play with your kids, don’t put off until tomorrow to tell your friends, family and loved ones how much they mean to you and how much you love them… enjoy your live, celebrate it, share it with all of those special to you... tomorrow may be too late!

There is another song, this one by Garth Brooks:  If Tomorrow Never Comes...

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

How true... Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers!

On a lover’s leap with a freeway view
Sittin’ on the hood, thinkin’ ‘bout you
Playin’ over in my mind every kiss
and every fight
Yeah, the fool on the hill is beaten
down another night

There were days so hard that I
thought I had to go
I’d get in my car and just follow the road
But this is my home and it’s who I am
And I know I’d stay if I could…

 C H O R U S
Make this old town new again
Color other than blue again
I’d have something to do again
Instead of thinking of you again

But the people I know and the
places I go
Remind me of you
Oh won’t somebody come around
And make this old town new

There were nights so long, I thought
the sun burned out
There were girls so wrong I don’t
wanna talk about it
I was burning up the night in an
alcohol flame
Lighting my way, trying to…

 C H O R U S
Make this old town new again
Color other than blue again
I’d have something to do again
Instead of thinking of you again

But the people I know and the
places I go
Remind me of you
Oh I’m just hangin’ around
Trying to make this old town new

But the people I know and the
places I go
Remind me of you
Love goes wrong but life goes on
And I know what I gotta do
Oh won’t somebody come around
And make this old town new

'A real man doesnt make love to a million women. A real man makes love to one women a million ways!'

"El Ultimo Beso"

Wanted Dead or Alive

By: Bon Jovi

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

Chorus:
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're all alone all you do is think

I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Unanswered Prayers
Written by: - Pat Alger- Larry Bastian - Garth Brooks

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife nd I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be

She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
Inn her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all

And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thankedd the good Lord
For the gifts in my life

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

Some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

If Tomorrow Never Comes
Written by: - Kent Blazy - Garth Brooks

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
