From:
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
And 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
Now I was barely seventeen, summer ?79
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 die
