His daddy said
On his deathbed
Son, live each day

Or maybe he read it
On a fridge magnet
Either way
He's gotta live each day

So he wrote up a list
Of people to thank
Live each day

Withdrew his savings
From the National Bank
He's gotta live
Like it's his last

You better live each day
Like it is your last

Shrug off the urge to systematically kill
Go rollerblading round the Beverly Hills
Live each day like it's your last one

He asked his sweetheart
Out to dance
Live each day

Then hugged and kissed her
When he got the chance
Live each day

Then he, he had a sandwich
Truly loved that sandwich
Like it was his last

You better live each day
Like it is your last

Shrug off the urge to systematically kill
Go rollerblading round the Beverly Hills
Shrug off the urge to systematically kill
On second thought just do whatever you feel
Live each day like it's your last one

Living a day like it's your last
Living a day like it's your last
Living a day like it's your last
Living a day like it's your last
Living a day like it's your last
Living a day like it's your last
Living a day like it's your last
Living a day like it's your last
