I was a little boy of nine years old The whole world in my 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 I was much too young to understand When he would say to me
When you're young, you always think The sun is gonna shine There'll 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 You 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 Should I say that she had me? That fateful night we'd change our lives And made a memory
When you're young, you always think The sun is gonna shine There'll come a day you'll 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 gotta live before we die Live before you die
You learn to love, to live You fight and you forgive You learn what's wrong and right Live before you die
I made mistakes, I've caught some breaks But I've 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 gonna shine One day you're gonna have to say Hello to goodbye
Shout it out, let someone somewhere Know you're alive Take these words, wear 'em well Live before you die
Live before you die 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 dieTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
