Did you know you were going to die today?
Betcha didn’t know when you woke up today
When you tossed off the covers and got up today
That the day you breathed your last was going to be today
The last cup of coffee
Your last breakfast
Last morning show
The last kiss goodbye
And your last how are you

Did you know you were going to die today?
Betcha didn’t know when you took a shower today
And got in the car to go to work today
That you would be referred to as “was” today
No more sunshine
No more flowers
No more laughter, sadness or anger
There is no cure for death
So strange when it applies to you

Did you know you were going to die today?
Betcha didn’t know it would be the end today
Ten years ago you didn’t know the day was going to be today
But ten years from now you’ll still never know what happened today
When they found you dead
You won’t know what their eyes saw
What the autopsy read
It’s a shame they say
But you can’t care anymore

Did you know you were going to die today?
Neither did I.
