Live before You Die
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
Оr
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 [2x]
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
