Blink of an Eye (feat. Johnny Smith)
Featuring Johnny Smith & Drums by Memphis Earl England
Took nine long months to hear your first cry
The sweetest sound I heard in my whole life
From that day on every month flew by
Until I woke up one day to find your nine
Wish you would stay young
Where has the time gone
I wish you would stay young
Your first break up tore my heart apart
Still can't believe you learned to parallel park
Your first slow dance
Was with your beautiful mom
She didn't want you to be shy
For your first prom
I wish I met you when I was young
Where has the time gone
Hurts to know that we don't have long
I wish I met you when I was young
Now that your married
You're gonna start a new life
You'll have grandchildren
In the blink of an eye
My last gift for you is this word of advice
Love every moment as they pass you by
Wish I met you when I was young
Where has the time gone
Know it hurts that we didn't have long
Wish I met you when I was young
I wish I met you when I was young
Where has the time gone
Know it hurts that we didn't have long
I wish I met you when I was young
Took nine long months to hear your first cry
The sweetest sound I heard in my whole life
From that day on every month flew by
Until I woke up one day to find your nine
Wish you would stay young
Where has the time gone
I wish you would stay young
Your first break up tore my heart apart
Still can't believe you learned to parallel park
Your first slow dance
Was with your beautiful mom
She didn't want you to be shy
For your first prom
I wish I met you when I was young
Where has the time gone
Hurts to know that we don't have long
I wish I met you when I was young
Now that your married
You're gonna start a new life
You'll have grandchildren
In the blink of an eye
My last gift for you is this word of advice
Love every moment as they pass you by
Wish I met you when I was young
Where has the time gone
Know it hurts that we didn't have long
Wish I met you when I was young
I wish I met you when I was young
Where has the time gone
Know it hurts that we didn't have long
I wish I met you when I was young
