These are the ways I hope to change my life, These are the vows I choose to make. Make damn sure that when I take my final breath I won't need to look back on my mistakes. I raise my glass to the future And not the past. Gonna take my dreams, Gonna live them by and by, Gonna live my life Sometime before I die. Gonna take my dreams, Gonna live them by and by, Gonna live my life Sometime before I die. And these are the people I'd like to thank As I take my final bow, All the ones who dared to shake me up And all the ones who let me down. I raise a toast To flesh and not a ghost. Gonna take my dreams, Gonna live them by and by, Gonna live my life Sometime before I die. Gonna take my dreams, Gonna live them by and by, Gonna live my life Sometime before I die. I'd like to thank everyone who made this possible From the bottom of my heart. And now I'd like to bring on a very, very special Guest. Gonna take my dreams, Gonna live them by and by, Gonna live my life Sometime before I die. Gonna take my dreams, Gonna live them by and by, Gonna live my life Sometime before I die. Gonna take my dreams, Gonna live them by and by, Gonna live my life Sometime before I die. Gonna take my dreams, Gonna live them by and by, Gonna live my life Sometime before I die ...
