Don't blink...

"Don't Blink"

I 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
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is."

[Chorus:]
Don't blink

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
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think So don't blink

I was glued to my TV and it looked like he looked at me and said........

 

 "Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip over and start again
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth

[Chorus]

I've been tryin to slow it down
I've been tryin to take it in
In this here today gone tomorrow world we're livin' in

[Chorus]

Now, don't blink
