I asked him when it sank in that this might really be the real end
How`s it hit cha when you get the kind of news
Man, what`d ya do ?
I went skydiving, I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 2.7 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 of 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 3 times that year I lost my dad
Well I, 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 skydiving, I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 2.7 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 do with it
What should you do with it
What can I do with it
What would I do with it
I went skydiving, I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 2.7 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`
