Kenny Chesney Don`t Blink Lyrics

Don`t Blink Lyrics

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
