Dave, you are....um....

Hi Everyone! After my last post I got a couple of adamant e-mails stating that so much sap should not be posted on-line. I even got something from a complete stranger asking for relief from the gag factor. So, with my head hung low I removed the oh so romantic dedication to my wonderful husband. Then, today I was having dinner with a friend and she said "I was reading the song on your last blog post and then all of a sudden, when I was only half way through, it disappeared! Where did it go? I want it back!!!!!!"

So, here is the song again, without all the introductory sap before it. For those of you who didn't tune in before it was removed, it's up to you to imagine what I wrote that caused all that ruckus.

Live Like You Were Dying by 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
And I spent most of the next days
Looking at the x-rays
And talking ‘bout the options, talking
‘bout sweet time
And I asked him when it sank in
That this might really be the end
How’s it hit ya’ when you get that
kind of news
Man, what’d you do (he said)

I went sky diving I went rocky
mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a
bull named Fumanchu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I’d been denying
And he said one day I hope you get a
chance
To live like you were dying

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 ‘a sudden going fishin’
Wasn’t such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost
my dad
And 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

I went sky diving I went rocky
mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a
bull named Fumanchu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I’d been denying
And he said one day I hope you get a
chance
To live like you were dying

Like tomorrow was a gift
And you’ve got eternity to think of what
you did with it
What you did with it…what did I do with it

I went sky diving I went rocky
mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a
bull named Fumanchu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I’d been denying
And he said one day I hope you get a
chance
To live like you were dying
