About This Song: (lyrics below)
This song is a somewhat macabre yet humorous look at the fact that we are all here for a short while and none of us knows when our “expiration date” is. The point remains: Stop waiting for “someday” to start living. Start living NOW!
That big dream of yours? Start today to turn it into your reality.
Seriously. What are you waiting for? huh? Do it…
Now!
The Very Best Day Of Your Life
Song # 285 | June 1997 edited 9/02
You may sing like an angel, drive like Andretti,
March down the street in a shower of confetti
Consult with kings, donate money to the president
You might even brush your teeth with Pepsodent
But this could be the very day that you die (x2)
You could have plenty of insurance, stocks and bonds
Michael Jordan sneakers and a perfect lawn
You could have every single hair still on your head
You could be floating on air in your water bed
But this could be the very day that you die (X2)
Your time could run out before you even notice
You could leave in an elevator made by Otis
You could drop while you shop, while your drinking a soda
You might never come back from your trip to the Dakota
This could be the very day that you die (X2)
You could slip on a banana peel, drown in the tub
Get caught between a mother bear and her cub
Get run over by a fire truck
Have a heart attack in the middle of a good…book
This could be the very day that you die (X2)
This old guy I know says death is not the enemy
Death is our only worthy adversary
Death helps us focus on the stuff that really matters
One thought about death can cut right through the flatter-chatter
This could be the very day that you die (X2)
Now all that’s been said and you’re still not dead
You might want to start to live your life instead
You might want to do what you’ve left undone
You might want to learn to dance and play the drum!
This could be the very best day of your life (X2)
