I turned on the evening news saw an old man being interviewed
turnin 102 today
asked him whats the secret to life
he looked up from his old pipe
laughed and said all i can say
{Chorus}
dont blink just like that your six years old and you take a nap
and you wake up and your 25
and your high school sweet heart becomes your wife
dont blink you just might miss your babys grow
just like mine did turning into moms and dads
next thing you know your better half
of 50 years is there in bed and you pray that god takes you instead
trust me friend 100 years goes faster than you think
dont blink
i was glued to my tv wouldnt look like he looked at me and said
best start putting first things first
cause when your hour glass runs out of sand you cant flip it over and start agains
to give a breath that god gives you for what its worth
{Chorus}
so ive been trying to slow it down
ive been trying to take it in
and its here today gone tomorrow world where living in
{Chorus}
No no dont blink
life goes faster than you think
