Song Of The Night - My Call

Hi Everyone

"Prez" I am going to make the call on tonight's song of the night before you decide on one - I know you'll understand.

I found a song that I wanted to dedicate to people who are supporting family and friends, or know of them, who are battling a terminal illness this holiday season. Its a tough time of year the holidays - enduring thistime...

The song is by Tim McGraw who was inspired by his father MLB pitching legend Tug McGraw who died of cancer.

"LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYIN'"
(Tim McGraw)

He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me
When a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
I spent most of the next days lookin' at the x-rays
Talkin' about the options - talkin' about sweet time.
I asked him when it sank in
That this could really be the real end
Hows it hit ya when you get that kinda news?
Man what'd you do?

He said
(chorus)
I went sky divin'
I went Rocky Mountain Climbin'
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
He said someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'....

He said I was finally the husband that most of the time I wasn't
I became the kind of friend a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden goin' fishin'
Wasn't such an imposition
And I went 3 times that year I lost my dad
Finally read the Good book
And took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again

(Chorus)
So I went sky divin'
I went Rocky Mountain Climbin'
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying.
He said someday I hope you get the chance
To Live Like you were dyin'

Like tomorrow was a gift
And you got eternity to think what did you do with it?
What would you do with it?
What did you do with it?

I went sky divin'
I went Rocky Mountain' climbin'
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'
And he said I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'.....
