Story behind the song
Inspired by Bob Segars "Like a rock," it does seem to me the older you get, the faster time goes by. I wrote this about 10 years ago, now I'm 52. Lyrics do not reflect my personal philosophy though. I love every day & try to live every day to the fullest. God is good! Life is good, at every age!
Lyrics
Blink of an Eye (by John K. Wilson, all rights reserved) Once upon a time was it yesterday or long ago I was so young & strong & sure I knew which way to go I had all the answers or at least I sure thought so I was in my prime, yeah I was in my prime I didn't realize my life would go so fast I didn't understand I'd need to make each moment last I didn't know 20 years could fly right past In the blink of an eye, in the blink of an eye In the blink of an eye my life has gone so fast In the blink of an eye all my tomorrows are in the past I wish I'd made them last How do you make them last My life just happened while I was busy making other plans I don't have the answers anymore & it's too late for me to make a stand I woke up one morning and realized I was an old man, I was an old man Too many of my tomorrows turned into empty yesterdays Precious time slipped through my fingers & I don't know what to say I only wish I'd known my life would disappear this way In the blink of an eye, in the blink of an eye In the blink of an eye my life has gone so fast In the blink of an eye all my tomorrows are past In the blink of an eye my life has gone so fast In the blink of an eye all my tomorrows are past It slipped right out of my grasp I wish I knew how to make them last Time is not linear It's log rhythmic Tempus fugit Bye bye bye bye Do you love life Then do not waste time For that is the stuff that life is made of
