I've been thinkin' a lot lately About how much time I have left There's a whole lot more behind me Than how much lies ahead I feel the need to make a list To write it down so I will know A few things that I'd like to do In my life before I go Before I go I wanna walk the hills of Spain See the birds in Costa Rica The Northern Lights in northern Maine I wanna spend more time With the ones I love the most These are a few things I'd like do Before I go Maybe I'll buy some watercolors Learn to paint a country lane One that rolls on down to some Pastural peaceful place And maybe I'll write a book Tell my story, share my truth Bare it all upon the page That's something I might like to do Before I go I wanna walk the hills of Spain See the birds in Costa Rica The Northern Lights in northern Maine I wanna spend more time With the ones I love the most These are a few things I'd like do Before I go Maybe there's a book up there someplace With our names and the day we'll pass But I don't think there is, so I wanna live Each day like it's my last I wanna go sailin' for a couple of weeks Down in the islands with Vicki and Stan Feel the sun on my face and the wind at my back Walk with JoJo in the soft white sand And when my traveling days are done I wanna sit and watch the river flow I wanna live with no regrets, with this time I've left Here before I go
