Blink of an Eye

High School was a lifetime, so it seemed.

College was the blink of an eye.

A lot of people come and go, you know, it’s hard to see just why.

Now all my friends have got real jobs.

Found people they want to marry.

And all of this seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.

The workday was a lifetime, so it seemed.

The weekend was the blink of an eye.

The clock goes from ticking slowly to time just flying by.

The boss has got his eye on me.

Says, “Something funny’s going on around here”.

Wants me to sign in every morning to quell my tendency to disappear.

Try as you might

To hold on tight

To the things you like,

But you can’t stop time.

This lifetime was a lifetime, so it seemed.

The good times were the blink of an eye.

When I look up I see blue or black, clouds or stars, it’s this or that, Not never-ending sky.

Most mornings always hit me like an expectant surprise.

​In my bed, so safe and warm, safe from the storm as time flies by your eyes.
