I turned on the evening news, saw an–
Old man being interviewed–
Turning a hundred and two today?
(Play Once)
I asked him, what’s the secret to life?
He looked up from old pipe?
Laughed and said all I can say is?
(Play chords louder for chorus)
Don’t Blink?
Just like that your six years old and you take a nap and you?
Wake up and you’re twenty five then 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?

I was glued to my TV, when it?
Looked like he looked at me and said?
Let’s start putting first things first?
(Play Once)
Cause when your hour glass runs out of sand you can’t?
Flip it over and start again?
Take every breath god gives you for what its worth?
(Play Once)

your wife?
