(Verse 1)
I close my little eyes and,
count one...two...three.
I tag them by my hand.
Now they count by the tree.

(Verse 2)
I stand in front of my class and,
count eight...nine...ten.
I pick the next one to stand.
Now they begin.

(Chorus)
Life is such a precious gift to throw away.
Live, laugh, and love everyone.
Enjoy what you have everyday.
Live and be as bright as the sun.

(Verse 3)
I look at my exam paper and,
count thirteen...fourteen...fifteen.
I studied so hard yet I guess I don’t understand.
Now they want a school work vaccine.

(Verse 4)
I look at the calendar and,
count three...two...one.
I am out of high school with cash in hand!
Now they have some fun.

(Chorus)
Life is such a precious gift to throw away.
Live, laugh, and love everyone.
Enjoy what you have everyday.
Live and be as bright as the sun.

(Verse 5)
I look around me and,
count twenty-six...twenty-seven...twenty-eight.
I know who is sitting at the Right hand.
Now they celebrate.

(Chorus)
Life is such a precious gift to throw away.
Live, laugh, and love everyone.
Enjoy what you have everyday.
Live and be as bright as the sun.
