Lyrics
I blinked my eyes, I blinked my eyes, And my life happened. The wise ones told me not to do it But I was young and foolish Challenges surrounded me I wished them away, I wished them away. Thinking things would be much better down the road, And suddenly it happened, Time melted away, I blinked my eyes, and time melted away. Gently but so swiftly life unrolled itself. Time was flying -- Slipping away, slipping away. Now I miss those moments that are lost forever, Because I know -- I wished them away, wished them away, I blinked my eyes, I blinked my eyes, And my life happened. I blinked my eyes, and as foretold, My life happened. © 2010 Laurel D. Rund and Philip W. Leber
