How does this one start again?

"Sing like there's no tomorrow..."?


Anyway, then there's "Love like it's never gonna hurt..."

"Dance like there's nobody watching..."


I'm sure there are more we can add...

"Work like it's Friday afternoon..."


More?

Come From The Heart
Susanna Clark & Richard Leigh

When I was a young man my daddy told me
A lesson he learned, it was a long time ago
If you want to have someone to hold onto
You're gonna have to learn to let go

Chorus
You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance like nobody's watchin'
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work

Now here is the one thing that I keep forgetting
When everything is falling apart
In life as in love, what I need to remember
There's such a thing as trying too hard

Chorus

found it here

Peter, Thank you for the Guy Clark link. I printed off the lyrics and got the liner notes as well for some of my favs.

Good choice of lyrics to add to this thread. Here is my contribution, found in Rise Up Singing:

Bed, bed, I couldn't go to bed My head's too light to try to set it down Sleep, Sleep, I couldn't sleep tonight Not for all the jewels in the crown

I could have danced all night (2x) And still have begged for more I could have spread my wings & done a thousand things I've never done befor I'll never know what made it so exciting Why all at once my heart took flight I only know when he began to dance with me I could have danced, danced, danced all night.

Obviously recognizable from "My Fair Lady."

I can't sing this without dancing around the room. Must be the Pollyanna in me.

Here are the two original poems:

LIVE WITH INTENTION by Maryanne Radmacher-Hershey

Live with intention Walk to the edge Listen hard Practice wellness Play with abandon Laugh Choose with no regret Continue to learn Appreciate your friends Do what you love Live as if this is all there is

A LIVING EULOGY by mary anne radmacher-hershey

She danced. She sang. She took. She gave She served. She loved. She created. She dissented. She enlivened. She saw. She grew. She sweated. She changed. She learned. She laughed. She shed her skin. She bled on the pages of her days. She walked through walls. She lived with intention.

I saw it happen...
Sure it was longer than the blink of an eye, but still only an instant.
The kid was gonna learn this lesson about life.
Had to learn it sometime, why not a harmless game?

I knew IT-----because I knew HIM.
I know that look in his eye
One minute he was PLAYING the game
An instant later he was WATCHING.
A lesser player blowing past,
There he stands...looking silly...jockstrap around his ankles
...opponent sinking the easy lay-up.

Life lessons one-o-one. You can't simultaneously live and spectate.
Watch life happen, or
make life happen.

Now it's my turn.
Here I stand
guitar strapped on
heart beating WAY to hard
I can spectate and be overcome by the current circumstances.
Or maybe I can forget myself in the music and PLAY.

You gotta See like there's nobody Watching;
and breath like there's only one breath.
You gotta sing as though no-one is listening;
And live like there isn't no death.
