Blink of an Eye

It's crazy how things can change in a blink of an eye.
One day your 16 and then in a blink of an eye your 25.
Oh how it seems so crazy the this thing that we call life.
How you grow up and it seems like life is passing you bye.


Oh how I miss those days being a kid and going to your high school football game.
Oh how I miss those days late night sleepovers with best friends talking about the future.
How we couldn't wait to grow up now I'd give anything to have that time back.


It's crazy one minute your getting grounded arguing with your mother. Didn't know what the fuss was about it was just a few drinks. Then in a blink of an eye your 25 your so far away.
You'd give anything to take that drive just to see her.


Oh how I miss those days. Being a kid begging your mom to take you to the store to get that toy you seen on tv.
Oh how I miss those days playing dress up in your moms clothes because you want to be just like her.
You wanted to grow up but now you miss those days give anything to get that time back.


It's crazy one minute your begging your dad can I please go out with that boy you met from school, hoping he would give in.
Then in a blink of an eye your 25 and he's walking you down the aisle.
They ask him who gives this bride away he says her mom and I do.
He gives you away and you want to cry because you know your life's about to change.


Oh how I miss those days asking your dad for that piggy back ride. Oh how I miss those days sneaking in late praying you wont wake him. you couldn't wait to grow up.


I wish I could get that time back just for one more day. How you miss it everyday being a kid and having no worries.


Oh how I miss those days when everything seemed ok, now you live so far away and just want to hear there voice .
Now your grown up gotten to toughen it because you know they've been there, but you give anything to have that time back
