Okay, I have heard this poem used in many TV commercials. I found it one day in a book and like an idiot, forgot to write it down.

Its a pretty common poem, I am sure someone knows this..

Something like....

Laugh like ?
Love like ?
Dance like ?
Live like theres no tommorrow

That is all I remember, someone help with completing this and please tell me the author.

Thanks!

There's an old Irish toast for newlyweds:

Work like you don't need the money
Love like you've never been hurt
Dance like there's nobody watching


Jack

If anyone is watching while I dance, they're laughing their heads off.

pam

I have it as follows


Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching.

I saw that quotation (in one of its variations) on a greeting card, attributed to "Souza."

But I was never able to verify the quotation. I did manage to rule out John Phillip Souza -- though he may have said, "Dance like you don't have blisters on your feet from marching band practice" -- and narrow it down to a couple of poets/writers, one of them Portuguese.

But now I have doubts about even that, because I found a quote from "Alfred D. Souza" posted NEXT TO an anonymous quote about dancing like there's nobody watching... so it's possible that the attribution got stretched a bit.

???

They are still good words to live by.

I though one of them was, Flirt like you're not a bit horny

It should be!

Dance like no one is watching
Sing like no one is listening
Love like you've never been hurt and
Live like it's heaven on earth
- Mark Twain

I was looking for it too!!

Mark Twain? I don't think so. I have seen other sources say it is an Irish toast dating back to the 1700s.
