Well, I left for work in a hurry
I rushed out the door without saying goodbye
I didn't tell her I loved her this mornin'
But I'll tell her tonight, I thought to myselfAnd 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 eyesI guess that's the reason that 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 lateLife is right here and now
We only go around just one time
So embrace them, don't waste them
For these are the days of our livesAnd as soon as my legs stopped shaking
I took a deep breath and turned my car around
Oh, I'm gonna take that vacation
That we talked aboutStarting right now, although I know tomorrow we'll be here
Tomorrow may not always be here for me
'Cause nothing in life is for certain
But death's guaranteedAnd 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 lateLife is around, here and now
We only go around just one time
So embrace them, don't waste them
For these are the days of our livesLife is around, here and now
We only go around just one time
So embrace them, don't waste them
For these are the days of our livesOh, we embrace them, don't waste them
For these are the days of our lives
