Don't Blink

I turned on the evening news
 Saw an old man being interviewed
 Turning 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 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
 "Best start putting 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, 'cause 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've been trying to slow it down
 I've been trying to take it in
 In this 'here today, gone tomorrow' world we're living in
 So don't blink, 'cause 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
