Before I Die

(album: Falling In Love - 1965)

Well there's so many things that I've never done
And there's so many places that I've never gone
And I'm aiming on living some before I die

And so many lips that I've never kissed
And there's so much in life that I have missed
And I'm aiming on living some before I die

Before I die I wanna build amends
I wanna shake hands with the president
Before I die I wanna get my share
I wanna go to Hollywood and just stand and stare

Well there's so many rows that I never hoed
So many wild oats I never sowed
And I'm aiming on living some before I die

Well there's so many corners I've never turned
And there's so many candles I've gotta burn
And I'm aiming on living some before I die

There's so many roads that I've never known
And there's so many parties I've never thrown
And I'm aiming on living some before I die

Before I die I wanna live like a king
Drive a Cadillac flash a diamond ring
Before I die I wanna strut my stuff
Smoke cigars at a dollar a puff

Well there's a lot more loving that I can get
So many things I ain't done yet
And I'm aiming on living some
Oh aiming on living some
Yeah aiming on living some before I die
