  • 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

  • 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

  • So don't blink

  • Life goes faster than you think

  • Don't blink

  • Don't blink

  • Life goes faster than you think
