Live Before You Die

I was a little boy of nine years oldThe whole world in my handsTrying to toss that ball across the yardA game of catch with my old man... always say "I'm sorry"Every time he had to leaveAnd I was much too young to understandWhen he would say to meWhen you're young, you always thinkThe sun is gonna shineThere'll come a day you'll have to say hello toGoodbyeSit down son, come take my handLook me in the eyeTake these words, promise meYou live before you dieNow I was barely seventeen, summer '79Already I was feeling likeI was running out of timeI had this girl, we fell in loveShould I say that she had meThat fateful night we'd change our livesAnd made a memoryWhen you're young, you always thinkThe sun is gonna shineThere'll come a day you'll have to sayhello to GoodbyeShe laided them down, she took my handLooked me in the eyeAnd just before she kissed me she saidYou gotta live before we dieLive before you dieYou learn to love, to liveYou fight and you forgiveYou learn what's wrong and rightLive before you dieI made mistakes, I've called some breaksBut I've got no regretsThere's some things I don't rememberBut one thing I don't forgetWhen you're young, you always thinkThe sun is gonna shineOne day you're gonna have to say hello to GoodbyeShout it out, let someone somewhere know you're aliveTake these words...Live before you dieLive before you dieHeyLive before you dieYou learn to love, to liveYou fight and you forgiveYou face the darkest nightJust live before you die
