Blink of an Eye

V1:

Woke up this morning

This day snuck up without warning

Sun coming up on twenty-five

But I don't really feel that alive

Thinking back to younger times

Felt like there were blue-er skies

Swear there were just lullabies

Putting me to sleep at night

Chorus:

In the blink of your eye

You find time blows on by

Go from first words to a first kiss

Then you've got kids of your own

The hours feel so slow

But the days fly on by

And the years all meld together

Till you're old, rockin' in a sweater

Looking back at the years past

It all happens so fast

Yeah, life goes by in the blink of an eye

V2:

Should go out more nights

Find someone to hold tight

Live up these youthful years

While I can still throw back beers

Pick up some scars as souvenirs

Steal a kiss on a sunset pier

Feel a life change coming near

Soon to be puzzled looking in the mirror

Chorus:

In the blink of your eye

You find time blows on by

Go from first words to a first kiss

Then you've got kids of your own

The hours feel so slow

But the days fly on by

And the years all meld together

Till you're old, rockin' in a sweater

Looking back at the years past

It all happens so fast

Yeah, life goes by in the blink of an eye

Bridge:

A quarter of this life already gone

Doing my best to hold on

This wild ride moves real fast

Just trying to make each day last 

Chorus:

In the blink of your eye

You find time blows on by

Go from first words to a first kiss

Then you've got kids of your own

The hours feel so slow

But the days fly on by

And the years all meld together

Till you're old, rockin' in a sweater

Looking back at the years past

It all happens so fast

Yeah, life goes by in the blink of an eye
