Live a Little Bit More

Frank Sinatra supposedly said of Judy Garland that she died a little bit inside each time she sang; that's how much she gave to each song. I understand his point, but ...

I would rather live a little bit more each time I sing. I'd like to find a richer experience, a fuller life each time I sing. I want to be more alive, to have feeling enough for two lives. If somebody could one day say of me "She lived a little bit more each time she sang; that's how much she gave to each song" I would consider it the highest compliment.
