Live Before You Die

1. A little boy of nine 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'd always say i'm sorry every time he had to leave

And I was much to young to understand what he would say to me

R: When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine

There come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye

Sit down son come take my hand, look me in the eye

Take these words promise me your gonna live before you die

2. I was barely seventeen, the summer of seventy nine

Already I was feeling like I was running out of time

I had this girl we fell in love, or should I say that she had me

Then one fateful night changed our lives and made a memory

R: When youre young you always think the sun is gonna shine

There will come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye

She laid me down she took my hand and looked me in the eye

And just before she kissed me she said you're gonna live before die

*: You learn to love to live

You fight and you forgive

You learn whats wrong and right

You gotta live before you dieee

Ive made mistakes I've caught my breaks, but i've got no regrets

Theres some things I don't remember but one thing I dont forget

R: When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine

There will come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye

Shout it out let someone somewhere know that your alive

Take these words wear them well, you gotta 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
