So don't blink

You can't flip it over and start again
So don't blink, 'cause just like that you're six years old
Asked him what's the secret to life?
Trust me friend a hundred years
Of fifty years is there in bed
Don't blink, you just might miss

And you take a nap
Turning into moms and dads
I was glued to my TV, when it looked
And you're praying God takes you instead
Next thing you know your better half
And you're praying God takes you instead
Don't blink, just like that you're six years old
And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Of fifty years is there in bed
Your babies growing like mine did

Your babies growing like mine did

Life goes faster than you think
And you wake up and you're twenty-five
Turning a hundred and two today
So I've been trying to slow it down

And you wake up and you're twenty-five

Don't blink

Turning into moms and dads
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth
Don't blink
No, don't blink
'Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand

Life goes faster than you think
Next thing you know your better half
I've been trying to take it in

Don't blink, you just might miss

Trust me friend a hundred years
Trust me friend a hundred years
Goes faster than you think, so don't blink
And you take a nap
Goes faster than you think, so don't blink
Of fifty years is there in bed
In this 'here today, gone tomorrow' world we're living in
Don't blink, you just might miss
And you take a nap
Life goes faster than you think
"Best start putting first things first"
And you're praying God takes you instead
Your babies growing like mine did
He looked up from his old pipe

Goes faster than you think, so don't blink
And you wake up and you're twenty-five
Laughed and said, "All I can say is
Don't blink, 'cause just like that you're six years old

Don't blink
And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Turning into moms and dads
Next thing you know your better half
Like he looked at me and said
