Tim McGraw - Live Like You Were Dying (Lyrics)

[@janeljennings2711]

I recently was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I have hopefully 2 years. This song has become my motto. I have even made a bucket list.

[@RichardKristooher]

I hope you accomplish everything on that list❤❤❤

This song reminds me of a good friend of mine who not only loved this song, but literally lived like he was dying when he got diagnosed with brain cancer over two almost three years ago before he passed on this January 2024 🙏🏼🎶❤️ Rest peacefully in the arms of God Greg. We all miss you. 🙏🏼

I went to my cousins graduation last week, a boy had passed before he got to graduate. Two boys stepped up on the stage and one of them had a violin and started playing this, and they both sang this song for that boy who died.

When being diagnosed with PF and Lung Cancer at 31, the docs outlook was grim. "5yrs" he said "if I was lucky". At 38 I was declared in remission. Facing another grim diagnosis in the brain now at 40. I began living like I was d.ying 9 years ago. Enjoying every moment. Teaching my children everything I could. Helping my family and friends. Making the jokes, speaking my mind and making sure people know I love them. But I never, not even for a moment let anyone tell me when I would go. Not today Junior. That's between my maker and I. This girl isn't going down without a fight. Sending love and hugs to anyone going through it. Whether you are a patient or caregiver. 🙏🏼💜😇✌🏼

This is a lovely comment. My sister passed away this morning from Pancreatic cancer. These last few days have been rough. I've listened to this great song and really helps to lift me up! I've also remember the where is Andy Dufrain said in the Shawshank redemption, either get busy dying or get busy living!

What a song - and still relevant in 2023. I'm trying to teach my 12 yr old granddaughter these values! And I'm 72 and she's 12 going on 18 or 20 yrs old. But "granddaughters and "grandmas" have a special relationship - any age difference! THANK YOU, Tim - your song is AGELESS. Nell 72 yrs and in Texas

[@masonodaniel7711]

Oh why yes it is AGELESS!

[@utopiaOKC]

Just try to remember, times change, but let her know you only tell her thing because you care. Thats the biggest discrepancy between me and my grandma. But my mom has been gone since 2005, so we dont have that connecter. Dont throw away all of your values, but try to conform to a degree. And make sure to tell her stories! Not just the good ones either! Im 25 and im just now hearing some WILD stuff my grandparents did HAHAHA

[@RIMMSHOT]

Absolutely beautiful. I came to see the lyrics and started to read some oh the comments 😢 God bless all of you and most of all Tim Mcgraw

[@Amanda-zn7ox]

My aunt lost her life to cancer at age 79 back in May 2024. She fought long and hard. With today's modern technology, my mom, two of their brothers and I got to watch her memorial live streamed on my laptop because it cost too much to fly or drive across the country. Mom and I, at least, bawled our eyes out, especially after hearing how invested in her church community my aunt was. I'm glad she isn't in pain anymore. I hope we can meet again someday.

[@cathyopfer6185]

This song got me through a rough time and reminds me to always be thankful for today. 🙂

[@josemotherrosa7042]

Gratitude is strong medicine, it's pulled me through brutal times. Stay strong!

[@GamebossUKB]

This is such a beautiful song, the music scene is flooded with so many meaningless love songs and country twang. It’s amazing the kind of emotion that music can pull from the depths of your heart when the subject matter is important to you.

[@danhamberg4582]

I just received the news from my doctor that they found numerous masses while doing an MRI on my hip. While I haven't been diagnosed yet, the chance of it being linked to cancer is fairly significant "90% or better", this song has always been one of my favorite Tim McGraw songs, it's hitting home a whole lot harder now although I'm not quite forty yet, only 38.

[@Smiggers]

This song is heaven sent. I’m a grown man and I tear up with the relevance to my life. Sometimes I’m not the best at loving and forgiving.. but man… I sure am inspired to try 🙏🏼 god bless

[@Amanda-zn7ox]

Holy moly, I was not anticipating something so hard-hitting! I've only heard this song on the radio and in passing, but not knowing all the lyrics. Now that I know, perhaps I should shift my personality some. I've still got a lot of life ahead of me at 25, but who knows what will happen with age? I hope that all of the terminally ill, whether they know this song or not, live a long time beyond their expected death time. If, unfortunately, that isn't the case, I hope they rest in peace.

[@tracyhargraves3954]

This is such an awesome song!! I've had my life saved several times by Doctors, but I didn't know how close I was to death until later, so you need to live the fullest life you can, just in case!!

[@Miami_Hoy]

It's April 2024, first time I hear this song...such a good, strong song, specially if you want to make changes in your life. A song this country also needs. It doesn't matter what your political affiliation is...we should all strive to Live Like We Were Dying. Life would have a better meaning...I'll take that first step.

[@Prey4TheDead]

Haven’t heard this in years…I needed this.

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

I would listen to this song with my mother as a little kid at night when I was still watching PBS Kids for Clifford and other stuff. And she died in 2021 for cancer. This hits home more than ever. ❤️

[@leighlouallen9989]

My Mom was diagnosed w stage 4 terminal cancer 1 month ago. We celebrated her 69th bday on 10-13-2024 and she said these very words to all the family there. She said not to be sad at her passing, that she is excited bc she gets to see all her loved ones that she had lost over her years of life. And just to remember & celebrate her after she is gone. As of today, she only has a few days of life left😢💔

[@BooksIReadToo]

I needed this song today.😊❤

[@rickbaker8340]

Wow what a great song the lyrics are very powerful they have a deep meaning the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life was to forgive all the people that had done horrible things to me I did it and I feel like I have the entire weight of the universe lifted off of my shoulders I'm a much happier person life is too short to hold all that hate inside I try to live my life everyday for God I make a lot of mistakes I've committed a lot of sins I pray everyday for forgiveness 🙏

[@reneeren-patterson2657]

Thank you for sharing the beautiful song with personal feeling "Live Like You were Dying". I have a different thoughts as your song's lyrics. Human has the most smart brain and good immune system to help everyone against any kind of diseases. Sometime the miracle will happened to complete as you previously predict the results. So I hope that a song writer should not only focus on your X--films data rather than encourage yourself to do pushed up 100 time/per day for make strong immune system and find a new way to live well. Human character has huge value and can make impossible become the possible. Look forward to hear Tim McGraw has a new song - name as " Live like you were singing". Best wishes

My sweet Aunt was given 6 months to live. She told me she didn't want to die, but she's not afraid. My sweet aunt passed away January 26th, 6 months after being diagnosed with stage 4 Breast Cancer. I really thought she was going to make it longer then that. She sounded so good every time I talked to her. She would say the pain wasn't bad, She still had an appetite and was up-and-doing things. I really thought she was going to live longer.. When I talk to her sister my other aunt. She told me. A completely different side and maybe my aunt just didn't want to tell me. Maybe she kept the truth from me because of how much Heartache I have gone through the past couple years with the lost of my mom (her sister) and the lost of my dad. There has been so much death in our family the past 2 years. Two of my Aunts passed away 6 days apart in January. A lot of cancer deaths in my family that I got a tattoo of a ribbon. Cancer is horrible. Sending prayers out to everyone who is going through this horrible disease.

[@disturbeddemons1]

I don't have a lot of time time left. Could be a few weeks could be a few months but no matter which it is it's not much, not much at all. The position I'm in now I can't go skydiving or rocky mountain climbing or bull riding but you know what I can do? I can love deeper and I can speak sweeter and I can give forgiveness I've been denying. It's the best I can do because I've got a little chance to live now before I'm dying.

Being born in the ‘50s, we didn’t know what sunscreen was or SPF factor was. We just took our shirts off, went out and played all day every day during the summer. We’d go to the local swimming pool or go to the lake. Wearing a hat was only for when we played Little League baseball. Two years ago, I found out I have skin cancer all over my body. I got Covid back in 2022 and have since been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, I have blockage in my heart, and my bronchial tubes are not feeding sufficient air to my lungs. Being an athlete during my grade school, junior high, high school and college days, I put my body through all kinds of hell. I now have severe osteoarthritis in my right hip, torn rotator cuff both shoulders, total knee replacement both knees. And after all those ailments I have, God, my faith and my desire to live every day with as much fun and enjoyment as possible, keeps me going.
