WELL I LEFT FOR WORK
IN A HURRY
I RUSHED OUT THE DOOR
WITHOUT
SAYIN' GOODBYE
I DIDN'T TELL HER
I LOVED HER
THIS MORNING
BUT I'LL TELL HER
TONIGHT
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF
AND AS I HURRIED OFF
TOWARD THE HIGHWAY
THIS TRUCK
OUT OF NOWHERE
CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE
HE MISSED ME
BY INCHES
AND MY LIFE
PASSED IN FRONT
OF MY EYES
I GUESS THAT'S
THE REASON
WHY THEY SAY
DANCE EVERY DANCE
AND LIVE EACH DAY
AS THOUGH
IT'S YOUR LAST
AND TELL
THOSE WHO YOU LOVE
HOW YOU FEEL
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
LIFE IS RIGHT HERE
AND NOW
WE ONLY GO AROUND
JUST ONE TIME
SO EMBRACE 'EM
DON'T WASTE 'EM
FOR THESE ARE
THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES
8 BAR
BREAK
AS SOON AS MY LEGS
STOPPED 'A SHAKIN'
I TOOK A DEEP BREATH
AND TURNED
MY CAR AROUND
OH I'M GONNA TAKE
THAT VACATION
WE TALKED ABOUT
STARTING RIGHT NOW
ALTHOUGH I KNOW
TOMORROW
WILL BE HERE
TOMORROW
MAY NOT ALWAYS
BE HERE FOR ME
'CAUSE NOTHING IN LIFE
IS FOR CERTAIN
BUT DEATH'S
GUARANTEED
AND THAT'S THE REASON
THAT I SAY
DANCE EVERY DANCE
AND LIVE EACH DAY
AS THOUGH
IT'S YOUR LAST
AND TELL THOSE
WHO YOU LOVE
HOW YOU FEEL
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
LIFE IS RIGHT HERE
AND NOW
WE ONLY GO AROUND
JUST ONE TIME
SO EMBRACE 'EM
DON'T WASTE 'EM
FOR THESE ARE
THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES
12 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
YEAH LIFE IS RIGHT HERE
AND NOW
WE ONLY GO AROUND
JUST ONE TIME
SO EMBRACE 'EM
DON'T WASTE 'EM
FOR THESE ARE
THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES
OH EMBRACE 'EM
DON'T WASTE 'EM
FOR THESE ARE
THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES
YEAH EH EH EH EH
