Lyrics You'll Have Time - William Shatner, John Davis, Kim Richey

You'll Have Time

Live life, live life like you’re gonna die
Because you’re gonna
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But you’re gonna die
Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you’ll be saying
«Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?»
Now, maybe you won’t suffer maybe it’s quick
But you’ll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn’t I taste it?
You’ll have time 'cause you’re gonna die
Yes it’s gonna happen because
It’s happened to a lot of people I know
My mother, my father, my loves
The President, the kings and the Pope they all had hope
And they muttered just before they went
Maybe, I won’t let go
Live life like you’re gonna die
Because you are
Maybe you won’t suffer maybe it’s quick
But you’ll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn’t I taste it?
You’ll have time 'cause you’re gonna die
I tell you who else left us
Passed on down to heaven no longer with us
Johnny Cash, JFK, that guy in the Stones
Lou Gehrig, Einstein, and Joey Ramone
Have I convinced you?
Do you read my lips?
This may come as news but it’s time
You’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
By the time you hear this
I may well be dead
And you my friend might be next
'Cause we’re all gonna die
Yeah, oh maybe you won’t suffer and maybe it’s quick
But you’ll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn’t I taste it?
You’ll have time, you’ll have time cause you’re gonna die
Yes, you’re gonna die
You’re gonna die, I tell you
You’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
'Cause maybe you won’t suffer maybe it’s quick
But you have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn’t I taste it?
You’ll have time 'cause you’re gonna die
Live life, life, life like you’re gonna die
Because you’re going to
Oh yes I hate to be the beater of bad news
But you’re gonna die
Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you’ll be saying
«Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?
Y O U apostrophe R E G O double N A D I E die
You are gonna die
(Why did I waste it, why didn’t I taste it? You’ll have time baby you’ll have
time, cause you’re gonna die…)
Lung cancer, heart attack, diabetes, drug overdose
Choke on a chicken bone, hit by a lightning bolt
Spider bite, airplane crash
Car wreck, a cap in your ass
