I turned on the evening news
Saw a old man bein interviewed
Turnin a hundered and two today
They asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pie
Laughed and said all I can say is
CHORUS:
Don't Blink, just like that
Your six years old and you take a nap
And you wake up and your 25
Then your high school sweetheart's become your wife
Don't Blink, you just might miss
You're babies growin like mine did
Turnin into moms and dads
Next thing you know you're better half
of 50 years is there in bed
And your prayin God takes you instead
Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think
So Don't Blink
Well I was glued to my T.V.
When it looked like he looked at me
And said, "Best start puttin first things first"
Cuz when your hour glass runs outta sand
You can't flip it over start again
Take every breath God gives you for what it's worth
REPEAT CHORUS
Solo:
So I been tryin to slow it down
I've been tryin to take it in
In this here today gone tommorrow world
We're livin in
REPEAT CHORUS
