Live Like You Were Dying
he said i was in my early 40's
with alot of life before me
then a moment came that stopped me on a dime
i spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
talkin bout the options
and talkin bout sweet time
i asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
how's it hit ya when you get that kind of news
man..whatcha do...and he said
{chorus}
i went sky divin
i went rocky mountain climbin
i went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Foomanchoo
and i loved deeper and i spoke sweeter
and i gave forgiveness i've been denin'
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 the time i wasn't
and i became a friend a friend would like to have
and all the sudden going 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
{chorus}
like tomorrow was a gift
and you got eternity
to think about what you'd do with it
and what did you do with it
what did i do with it
what would i do with it
i went sky divin
i went rocky mountain climbin
i went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Foomanchoo
and then i loved deeper and i spoke sweeter
and i watched the eagle as it was flyin
and he said someday i hope you get the chance
to live like you were dyin{x4}

Someday We'll Know
90 miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving I don't know why
So many questions I need some answers
2 years later you're still on my mind
Whatever happened to the Uptown theatre?
Yeah it held the stars up in the sky
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry
Someday we'll know
Why love can't move mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't there for you
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis?
Or what the wind says when she cries
I'm speeding by the place where I met you
For the 97th time
(Chorus)
Someday we'll know
Why love can't move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't there for you
Someday we'll know
If love is do or die for
Someday we'll know
Why it died so soon
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't there for you
I bought a ticket back to where I came from
I watched my past crash in the sea
If I could ask you just one question
Why aren't you here with me?
(chorus)
Someday we'll know
Why love can't move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't there for you
Someday we'll know
If love is do or die for
Someday we'll know
Why it died so soon
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't there for you
Someday we'll know
Someday we'll know
Someday we'll know
Someday we'll know
Someday we'll know

Nothings News
I spent my lifetime wishin the waitress would come around
Tellin jokes and shootin pool on the other side of town
When the whistle blows at five oclock theres only one place Ill be found
Down at ernies icehouse liftin longnecks to that good old country sound
And talkin bout the good old times
Braggin on how it used to be
But Ive worn out the same old lines
And now it seems nothings news to me
Theres nothin like a steel guitar cryin in the night
Theres nothin like a sawdust floor and a good old friendly fight
Id finally find my way back home and youd patch up my face
But that was another time and another place
Repeat chorus
And now were talkin bout the good old times...
I wonder how I came to be the know-it-all I am
And how the world ever got used to me

Big Time
Gonna leave the pain behind
Gonna leave the fools in line
Gonna take the magic potion
Gettin in an old black car
Gonna take a ride so far
To the land of sun tan lotion
Gonna take it state by state
Til I hit the golden gate
Get my feet wet in the ocean
Im still living in the dream we had,
For me its not over...
Walkin on the bridge on day
Lookin out across the bay
I saw a rippling in the water
Once a big ship had passed
I borrowed a travellers glass
And focused on the oceans daughter
Kind of like a wave confused
Dancing in the sunset hews
She waved to me and called me over
Im still living in the dream we had,
For me its not over...
Talkin bout a friend of mine
Talkin bout a gold mine
Richest vein in any mountain
Talkin bout the enemy
Inside of me
Talkin bout that youthful fountain
Talkin bout you and me
Talkin bout eternity
Talkin bout the big time
Im still living in the dream we had,
For me its not over...

Histoire du Cinéma
I remember seeing Star Wars for the first time,
but it wasn't like seeing Breathless for the first time.
I was breathless when I watched Raging Bull for the first time,
but I was a raging bull when I watched Clueless for the first time.
I was clueless when I watched 8 1/2 for the first time.
I was 8 1/2 when I watched Snow White for the first time.
I was snow white when I saw Halloween for the first time.
It was Halloween when I watched High Noon for the first time.
I remember seeing King Kong for the first time.
It was in The Apartment that I saw The Searchers for the first time.
In Modern Times, a Taxi Driver should consider The Graduate and
go Singin' In the Rain On the Waterfront with The African Queen,
instead of this route I took classes with a Psycho from Chinatown on The Grapes of Wrath.
Someday I'll be An American in Paris but for now
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? Rocky and The Wild Bunch
rode in on The Streetcar Named Desire to fill their Jaws
with The Best Years of Our Lives.

My Friend George
Read in the paper bout a man killed with a sword
And that made my think of my friend george
People said the man was five foot six
Sounds like george with his killing stick
Hey bro, whats the word
Talkin bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
Talkin bout my friend george
You talkin bout my friend george
I knew george since hes eight
I always thought that he was great
And anything that george would do
You know that I would do it too
George liked music and george liked to fight
He worked out in a downtown gym every night
Id spar with him when work was done
We split lips but it was all in fun
Hey bro, whats the word
You talkin bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
Talkin bout my friend george
Talkin bout my friend george
Next thing I hear georges got this stick
Hes using it for more than kicks
I seen him down at smalleys bar
He was wired up, I tried to calm him down
Avenge yourself he says to me
Avenge yourself for humanity
Avenge yourself for the weak and the poor
Stick it to these guys right through their heads
Well, the fight is my music, the stick is my sword
And you know that I love you, so please dont say a word
Cant you hear the music playing, the anthem, its my call
And the last I seen of george was him
Running through the door, I says -
Hey bro, whats the word
Talkin bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
You talkin bout my friend george
Talkin bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
You talkin bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
What me saying bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
Hear you talkin bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
I hear talkin bout my friend george

I'm Just Talkin' 'Bout Tonight
Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.
That would be too demanding.
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people
who might reach a little understanding.
I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven
with whether we're wrong or we're right.
I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out.
I'm just talkin bout tonight.
You were sitting on your bar stool
talking to some fool who
didn't have a clue.
I guess he couldn't see
you were looking right at me
cause I was looking at you too.
Then it's "do you wanna dance",
"have we ever met"
You said "hold your horses boy
I ain't that easy to get"
Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.
That would be too demanding.
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people
who might reach a little understanding.
I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven
with whether we're wrong or we're right.
I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out.
I'm just talkin bout tonight.
She said "I only take it slow.
By now you oughta know
that I ain't digging this.
If we can start as friends
the weekend just might end
with a little kiss."
She said "I'm a lady looking
for a man in my life
who will make a good husband.
I'll make a good wife."
Heeheeeasy now.
Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.
That would be too demanding.
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people
who might reach a little understanding.
I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven
with whether we're wrong or we're right.
See, I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out.
I'm just talkin bout tonight.
Yeah, I'm just talkin bout a little bit later tonight.

Crazy bout You
Someone asked me, about you
Asked me if this was love, are we serious
I kindly replied that I loved you
Dont know if I should be falling again
Theres a part of me, still in misery
Though I know I got to move on
Im scared of commitment
Im scared of what could go wrong
Chorus
cause if I love again, I could lose again
Thats the chance that Im gonna take
I cant be wrong again
Baby, cause Im crazy bout you
Its gonna take me just a moment
To take this all the way it feels kind of strange
So what could you do to assure me
That you wont go astray and hurt me some day
So no promises, dont want roses
Ive already heard every lie
And I aint in no hurry
And I hope youre not wasting my time
cause if I love again, I could lose again
Thats a chance that my heart could break
Hate to be wrong again
Baby, cause Im crazy bout you
If I hurt again and I cry again
Thats a chance that Im gonna take
I cant be wrong again
Baby, cause Im crazy bout you
Starting over
Takes me under
I need your shoulder
When I cant bear this pain
I need your love
To help me make it alright
Dont need no one
Runnin in and out of my life
Chorus
If I love again, and I cry again
Thats the chance that Im gonna take
I cant be wrong again
Baby, cause Im crazy bout you

Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper
Sweeter and sweeter and sweeter and sweeter
Chorus:
I can't help falling in love
I fall deeper and deeper the further I go
Kisses sent from heaven above
They get sweeter and sweeter the more that I know
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
That's what my mama told me
Round and round and round you go
When you find love you'll always know
I let my father mold me

Unbound
Too many cooks tried to fix your dinner
Not enough of this, too much that
So many voices tried to speak as one
Whatcha doing right, whatcha doing wrong
Chorus
You took it hard, you shook it down
But maybe this time, like no ther time
Youll be unbound
When your feet of clay finally hit the ground
At the speed of sound, nothing more was heard
In a flash of fire that left behind no smoke
What was once too bright is now as dark as night
Chorus
I wish that I could say that I was surprised
When I heard the news tthat you had said goodbye
I hope youre doing well, I hope its good this time
Somewhere I heard that you were doing fine

Just Can't Leave You Alone
Stopped by your house, they said you weren't home
But maybe they lied
I would have known if you had come or gone
Cause I stood by your gate two days in a row
Finally left you a note
Said I remember how you smiled at me
And how you picked me out of the crowd
It's funny how the guy next to me swore that it was him you singled out.
(Chorus)
Wherever you go, I'll follow
'cause I'll never leave you alone
To the ends of the earth, I'll follow
'cause I just can't leave you alone.
You play hard to get, got me climbin' the walls
And I took the fall
And got chased by your security dog
If I change my look, maybe then you would see
Maybe you'd notice me
I'll become whatever you want me to be
I know someday I'll be your guest
All my friends say I'm crazy
The man from the magazine says I'm obsessed
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
You may think I'm extreme
But you sang to me ' live out your dream'
So I can't let you slip away now
If my dreams die, then I die
And I know someway, somehow
(Refrain)
I know someday I'll be your guest, yeah
All my friends say I'm crazy
The man from the magazine says I'm obsessed

Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever
by Stevie Wonder and Ivy Jo Hunter
I remember yet before we met
When every night and day
I had to live the life of a lonely one.
And I remember meeting you,
Discovering love could be so true
When shared by two, 'stead of only one.
When you said you loved me
We could not be parted.
Said, I built my world around you
And I'm truly glad I found you
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.
Each night I pray we'll never part
Because the love within my heart
Grows stronger from day to day.
Best I try, hard I try
To reassure and satisfy.
You know I'd be lost if you went away.
Chorus
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, I know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Chorus
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Don't you know my baby there.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.

I'm Tryin'
This gettin up early, pulling double shifts,
Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich.
But I'm tryin
It's been two years since we've finalized,
I still ain't used to puttin ex in front of wife.
But I'm tryin.
Send more money right away, is pretty much all she has to say when she
Calls these days and don't you be late
But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin
And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me,
Seems I'm always climbin and fallin and climbin
But I keep on tryin
I remember daddy sayin keep your eye on the ball, run like hell, play to win,
Get up when you fall
I'm tryin
Don't say nothin that you can't take back
Never do anything you might regret
No don't do that
Daddy I'm tryin
Know the difference between heaven and hell
Go easy on the bottle be hard on yourself
And I know he meant well
But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin
And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me,
Seems I'm always climbin and fallin and climbin
But I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbin and stumblin
And then fallin'

Gonna make an old man of me
