dont blink

Turned on the evening news

Saw a old man being interviewed

Turning a hundred and two today

Asked him what's the secret to life

And he looked up from his old pipe

Laughed and said, "All I can say is

Don't blink

It’s Just like that

You're six years old and you take a nap

And you wake up and you're twenty-five

And your high-school sweetheart becomes your wife

Don't blink

You just might miss

Your babies growing like mine did

Turning into moms and dads

Next thing you know

Your better half of fifty years is there in bed

You're praying God takes you instead

Trust me friend

A hundred years goes faster than you think

So I've been trying slow it down

I've been trying to take it in

In this here-today-gone-tomorrow world we're livin' in

Cause when the

Hour glass runs out of sand

You can’t look nowhere and start again yeah

Take every breath I give you for what it’s worth

Don't blink

It’s Just like that

You're six years old and you take a nap

And you wake up and you're twenty-five

And your high-school sweetheart becomes your wife

Don't blink

You just might miss

Your babies growing like mine did

Turning into moms and dads

Next thing you know

Your better half of fifty years is there in bed

You're praying God takes you instead

Trust me friend

A hundred years goes faster than you think

Don't blink

Don't blink

So I've been trying slow it down

I've been trying to take it in

In this here-today-gone-tomorrow world we're livin' in

Don't blink

It’s Just like that

You're six years old and you take a nap

And you wake up and you're twenty-five

And your high-school sweetheart becomes your wife
