Don't Blink

Don't Blink - American Country Hits

I turned on the evening news

Saw an old man being interviewed

Turning 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 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 growing like mine did

Turning into moms and dads

Next thing you know

Your better half of fifty years is there in bed

And you're praying 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

Let's start putting first things first

Cause when your hourglass runs outta sand

You can't flip it over start again

Took every breath 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 growing like mine did

Turning into moms and dads

Next thing you know

Your better half of fifty years is there in bed

And you're praying God takes you instead

Trust me friend

A hundred years goes faster than you think

So don't blink

So I been trying to slow it down

I been trying to take it in

In this here today gone tomorrow world we're living in

So 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 growing like mine did

Turning into moms and dads

Next thing you know

Your better half of fifty years is there in bed

And you're praying God takes you instead

Trust me friend

A hundred years goes faster than you think

So don't blink

Now don't blink

Life goes faster than you think
