(verse 1)
I left for work in a hurry,
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,
(verse 2)
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 that,
(chorus)
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 and don't waste em,
For these are the days of our lives,
(verse 2)

So embrace and don't waste em,
For these are the days of our lives,
(ending)
Life is right here and now,
We only go around, just, one, time,
So embrace and don't waste em,
For these are the days of our li---ves,
So embrace and don't waste em,
For these are the days of our lives,
