Yeah, he's the youngest man I know at sixty-five
A little slower than he used to be but there's a fire in his eyes
He's got a few more wrinkles on his face, and grey hair's finally found it's place
But when he smiles, you can see that kid inside

So this is what it means to be alive
He'll dance like no one's watching, laugh until he cries
He holds on tight and loves without regret, he takes the good and leaves the rest
And when all is said and done, he's gonna leave here dying young

Well, there ain't one of us who will ever know what tomorrow brings
It sure gets here fast and in a lightening flash it can change most anything
Make sure you learn to let it roll, 'cause it's all gonna fall you know
Don't let the sunset blow, find you're a better soul

So remember what it means to be alive
You gotta dance like no one's watching, just laugh until you cry
Hold on tight and love without regret, take the good and leave the rest
Then when all is said and done, you're gonna leave here dying young

You only get one time around
Time's always counting down
And what you do with this life's always up to you

So remember what it means to be alive
You gotta dance like no one's watching, just laugh until you cry
Hold on tight and love without regret, take the good and leave the rest
Then when all is said and done, you're can leave here dying young

I'm gonna leave here
Dying young
