BON JOVI - Live Before You Die lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I was a little boy of 9 years old<br>

The whole world in his hands<br>

Trying to toss that ball across the yard<br>

A game of catch with my old man<br>

<br>

He would always say I'm sorry<br>

Every time he had to leave<br>

And I was much to young to understand<br>

When he would say to me<br>

<br>

When you're young you always think<br>

The sun is going to shine<br>

There will come a day<br>

When you have to say hello to goodbye<br>

Sit down son take my hand,<br>

Look me in the eye<br>

Take these words, promise me<br>

You'll live before you die<br>

<br>

I was barely seventeen summer of seventy-nine<br>

Already I was feeling like I was running out of time<br>

I had this girl we fell in love<br>

Or should I say that she had me<br>

Then one fateful night changed our lives<br>

And made a memory<br>

<br>

When you're young you always think<br>

The sun is going to shine<br>

There will come a day<br>

When you have to say hello to goodbye<br>

She laid me down she took my hand<br>

And looked me in the eye<br>

And just before she kissed me she said<br>

You got to live before we die<br>

<br>

You learn to love to live<br>

You gight and you forgive<br>

You learn what's wrong and right<br>

You live before you die<br>

<br>

I made mistakes I caught some breaks<br>

But I got not regrets<br>

There's some things I don't remember<br>

But one thing I don't forget<br>

<br>

When you're young you always think<br>

The sun is going to shine<br>

One day you're going to have to say hello to goodbye<br>

Shout it out let someone somewhere<br>

Know that you're alive<br>

Take these words wear them well<br>

Live before you die<br>

Live before you die<br>

Hey!<br>

Live before you die<br>

<br>

You learn to love to live<br>

You fight and you forgive<br>

You face the darkest night<br>

Just live before you die<br>

<BR><BR>
