Hi,mylotters,have you heard the song called "Live like you are dying". Today,one of my friends recommended this song to me. When I was listened to it, I was really moved. What a beautiful melody and what profound meanings in it. After listened to this song,I was full of energy whole day and I realized that my time is limited and I must treasure every minute. The most beautiful words in the lyric, in my eyes, is "all of the moments you didn't notice,gone in the blink of an eye". Hi, try to listen to this song and share your feelings afterward.

I think more than one person did this song. I have it by Tim McGraw and don't remember Kris Allen doing it.

By the way, what is "under the covers you'll be, under the table you'll realize" mean. I think it means "when you oversleep you'll be, when you are drunk you'll realize". Am I right?

This is an old country song and for the life of me I can't remember who made it but it's been one of my favorites for years. Did you actually listen to the words? It makes a lot of sense.

Yes, it's a beautiful country song and a very meaningful one. It reminds us that we must live to the fullest every minute of the day, because no one knows what comes next. Enjoy life and if possible do good things while we have time.

I heard of this song… it’s sang by Eighth Season American Idol Winner Kris Allen. He began his American Idol journey way back 2007 and won as American Idol 8th season winner with his genre of Pop-rock and Acoustic/Alternative. He was nominated in the 2011 Billboard Music Awards on the Top Christian Song category on his song Live Like We’re Dying.

It is indeed a touching song that makes you think. We tend to hold on to the anger and dissappointment more so than to see and cherish the blessings we recieve each day. I love this song but it would be difficult to listen to at the moment with my father in law in the hospital breathing with the aid of a machine. Knowing I have heart issues I realize the value of a simple blooming flower. I always cherish the first iris in bloom each year. The very things most people call simple are the things I most enjoy. Planting vegetables, crafting, spending time with my friends and family. Taking a moment to gaze at the stars and the clouds. The aroma of honeysuckle on the vine. Do treasure every moment. I'm so happy that someone suggested this song to you.

I would always advice friends who would be too troubled with their relationship, to always make each day as if it were their last. I tell them that they should not be overly sensitive on certain things and would be fighting with their partners. It is better to make each day special and let your loved ones feel that the love you have for them grows each single day, coz, you will really never know when it will be the last time.

Yeah but I need to sit in the school fixed amount of time every day... It's sometimes just wasting my time because I forget all things what I don't use after a while. Anyway you can't always act like it's your last day. You can't complete long term goals if you say this is your last day XD

I don't know the song, but the lyric reminds me that we always should be grateful to live we have now because someone out there may be fighting just to survive... With the above said we made our days of living would be useful and meaningful. So every action we do is the best because we assume that this is the last action we can take in our live. With that then we have to improve our quality of life ... today is better than yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today ...

I don't know the song but the phrase above reminds me of a movie where a japanese woman was asked by a ninja how she wants to die, fast or slow, she replied she wants to die slow so she could remember how great it is to live.
