I turned on
the evening news
Saw an old man
being interviewed
Turnin' 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
You just might miss your
babies growin' like mine did
Turnin' into moms and dads
Next 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 gIued 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 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 growin' like mine did
Turnin' into moms and dads
Next 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
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 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 growin' like mine did
Turnin' into moms and dads
Next 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
No don't blink
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
Don't blink
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
