Live Like You Were Dyin'

These are the lyrics to a wonderful song that I've come across. I love Tim McGraw's version, not too mention how wonderfully attractive he is when he sings. You really feel like he is truly singing just to you. ,Lenka also has some wonderful words with a really cool gypsy feel, Enjoy

Live Like You Were Dyin'

One of these days you’ll be
under the covers you’ll be
under the table and you’ll realize
that all of your days are numbered;
all of them one to one hundred.
All of them millions.
All of them trillions.
So what are you gonna do with them all?
You can not trade them in for more.
no no

Take every moment; you know that you own them.
It’s all you can do, use what’s been given to you.

Give me a reason
to fight the feeling
that there’s nothing here for me.
Cause none of its easy,
I know it wasn’t meant to be.
I know it’s all up to me.
It's all up to me.
So what am I gonna do with my time?
oh

Ill take every moment, I know that I own them.
It’s all up to you to do whatever you choose.

Live like you’re dying and never stop trying.
It’s all you can do, use what’s been given to you.

All of the moments you didn’t notice;
gone in the blink of an eye.
And all of the feelings you couldn’t feel
no matter how you try.
oh oh

Take every moment; you know that you own them.
It’s all up to you,
to do whatever you choose.

Live like you’re dying and never stop trying.
It’s all you can do, use what’s been given to you.

Live like you’re dying and never stop trying.
It’s all up to you, use what’s been given to you.

oh oh

Lenka's words  really make you think about what you want to do with the rest of your life. What can you do each day, to make your life happier? Make a list. Seven things. Perhaps do one each day. They don't have to be BIG things, Read the lines and listen to the video by Lenka, I'm sure you too will be inspired,

  1. What a sweet blog! You did a fantastic job with it :)
    I just love this song. I had a friend who used to karaoke it like a pro. He has since passed away and it's really nice to know that he did take the song to heart and live his life as fully as he could, while he was here.

  2. That is a very inspiring song. We need to make the most of every minute and do the things we want to do.
