Song I have been writing forever, trying to "fine tune" it, forgive the pun. also a poem.
We’re gonna live until we die
Then we won’t get any older
Darlin love until we cry
When He taps us on the shoulder
Gonna live until we die


Well after twenty years
I thought our life was safe not sorry
And we’d spend our golden years
Hands entwined, a True Love Story
We’re gonna love until we die


But then you sent me down the road
I think they call it “Packin”
With my soul an empty room
And my heart so near to cracking
So now I’ll cry and cry and cry


But then a vision came to me
She said your life’s not nearly over
Get up off your knees
Bask in sunshine, smell the Clover

So I live until I die
Then I won’t get any older
And I’ll laugh until I cry
When He taps me on the shoulder
Gonna live until I die



I’m gonna dance with all the girls
Til my boots fall off in tatters
Gonna Hug and kiss their curls
Nothing else that really matters



Oh I’ll dance until I die
Then I won’t get any older
Gonna hug until I cry
When HE taps me on the shoulder
Gonna live until I die


Gonna live until I die
Then I won’t get any older
And I’ll laugh until I cry
Till He taps me on the shoulder
Gonna live until I die



I’m gonna eat the finest foods
And I’ll even lick the platters
Gonna drink my favourite booze
From the bottle doesn’t matter
Yes I’ll eat until I die
Oh Lordy drink until I cry


Oh I’ll live until I die
Then I won’t get any older
Gonna laugh until I cry
When HE taps me on the shoulder
Gonna live until I die
Oh Lordy laugh until I cry


When the Reaper comes for me
He’ll have to wait until I’m finished
But he’ll laugh and smile with glee
Cause my Spirit won’t diminish
Gonna wait for me to die
Oh Lordy smile while I try


I'm Gonna live until I die
Then I won’t get any older
Gonna laugh until I cry
When HE taps me on the shoulder
Gonna live until I die
