What are the lyrics to don't blink?

Answer 1

I turned on the evening news

Saw an 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 ."

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

just might miss your babies growin' 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 when it looked like he looked at me and said

"Best start putting first things first."

Cause when your hour glass runs out of sand

You can't flip it over and start again

Take every breath God gives you for what it's worth

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

just might miss your babies growin' 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

So 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

Don't Blink

just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and ya'

Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife

Don't Blink

just might miss your babies growin' 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

No, don't blink

life goes faster than you think

So don't blink
