Don't Blink!

Today I was in the car and "Don't Blink" by Kenny Chesney came on the radio. I have heard this song multiple times in the past, but I've never really paid close attention to the words. Today I really listened and I was moved to tears!

This is such an AWESOME song... it really speaks to what each and every one of us should be doing every precious day we have on this earth... living in the moment and appreciating every single thing that happens in our lives and every single person that is a part of it!

I turned on the evening news

Saw a old man being interviewed

Turning a hundred and two today

Asked him what's the secret to life

He looked up from his old pipe

Laughed and said "All I can say is."

Don't blink

Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you

Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife

Don't blink

You just might miss your babies growing like mine did

Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"

Of fifty years is there in bed

And you're praying God takes you instead

Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think

So don't blink

I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said

"Best start putting first things first."

Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand

You can't flip it over and start again

Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth

Don't Blink... chorus

So I've been tryin' ta slow it down

I've been tryin' ta take it in

In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in

Don't blink... chorus

Next time you start to wish that tomorrow would get here sooner... sit back and think about "Don't Blink"... it makes you realize how wonderful today is!
