In the blink of an eye

In the blink of an eye from the time I was born and I first started to drool

I was dressed up and heading out the door on my first day of school.

In the blink of an eye I was married and Oh my God! Heaven forbid!

Before I knew it, before I turned round I had a wife, a job and two kids.

In the blink of an eye from the time they were born and they first started to drool

My children were dressed up and out the door on their first day of school.

In the blink of an eye there was a divorce and remarriage and another child makes three

How quickly we turned from two awkward groups into one blended family.

In the blink of an eye like so many I didn’t know where the time had flown

For our children were now independent, and Deborah and I were alone.

In the blink of an eye there were grandchildren and soon after they started to drool

They were dressed up and heading out the door on their first day of school.

Isn’t it funny when we look back on our lives, we smile or we cry or we sigh

Because all of our moments, whether happy or sad, take place in the blink of an eye.
