I turned on the evenin' news
Saw a old man bein' interviewed
Turnin' a hundred and two today
They 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 si 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
Turnin' into moms and dads
ne t thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're prayin' 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 puttin' first things first."
Cause when your hourglass
runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breathe God gives you
for what it's worth
Don't blink
Just like that you're si 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
Turnin' into moms and dads
ne t thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're prayin' God takes you instead
Trust me friend
a hundred years
goes faster than you think
So don't blink
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 si 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
Turnin' into moms and dads
ne t thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're prayin' God takes you instead
Trust me friend
a hundred years
goes faster than you think
So don't blink
Naw, don't blink
Don't blink
Life goes faster than ya think
So don't blink
Life goes faster thank ya think
Don't blink
