A little boy of nine years old, the whole world in his hands Trying to toss that ball across the yard, a game of catch with my old man He'd always say i'm sorry every time he had to leave And I was much to young to understand what he would say to me When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine There 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 your gonna live before you die I was barely seventeen, the summer of seventy nine Already I was feeling like I was running out of time I had this girl we fell in love, or should I say that she had me Then one fateful night changed our lives and made a memory When youre young you always think the sun is gonna shine There will come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye She laid me down she took my hand and looked me in the eye And just before she kissed me she said you're gonna live before die for 4 bars Bridge You learn to love to live You fight and you forgive You learn whats wrong and right You gotta live before you dieee Ive made mistakes I've caught my breaks, but i've got no regrets Theres some things I don't remember but one thing I dont forget When you're young you always think the sun is gonna shine There will come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye Shout it out let someone somewhere know that your alive Take these words wear them well, you gotta live before you die Bridge You learn to love to live You fight and you forgive You face the darkest night Just live before you die
