Has anyone heard the song "Live like you were dying" by Tim McGraw??

Question

i loveee it,,its kinda sad..but reallyyyyyyy good,,made me crry:( still good though;)

Answer 1

Yes..I heard it way back when it first came out.A sweet song dedicated to Tim's dad who passed away. It really makes you think....it's very deep.

Sing along:

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, talking bout the options
And talking 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 kinda news
Man what'd you do

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: Some day, I hope you get the chance,
To live like you were dyin'.

And he said 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: Some day, 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.
An' 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 Blue Eagle as it was flyin'."
And he said: "Some day, 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'.

Yes, I love it. It is so true! And we need to remember the words - always. If we do live that way, we won't miss the important stuff! I have the music on my computer/have the cd. Here are the words to the song, in case you want:
