It's bottles and bibs Rattles and cribs 3 am's again and again Comfort the cry Man it's flyin' by Swings and slides And tricycle rides Skinin' up knees And fallin' outta trees It's like it's never gonna end But it's flyin' by [chorus] You better hold on tight To those little lives In the blink of an eye It's outta sight I know I know to go so slow But it's flyin' by Then it's braces and boots And bad attitudes Boys and phones And every change in moods Tryin' times man But you'll survive And it's supposed to be home at ten You're late again Where the heck you been When you're yellin' and screamin' It don't seem like it's flyin' by But it's flyin' by You better hold on tight To those changin' lives In the blink of an eye They're outta sight I know I know it seems so slow But it's flying by There they go on their own Flyin' by You're wavin' good bye with a tear in your eye I know I know you go so slow But it's flyin' by They come back home And what do you know Them kids have got some kids of their own You can't believe how much they've grown And where the time's gone You look in the mirror There's gray in your hair You're wonderin' how the world did that get there It just ain't fair How it's flyin' by You better hold on tight To that sweet sweet life In the blink of an eye They're outta sight I know I know it goes so slow But it's flyin' by When it's hospital beds Last words said Did I do enough Holdin' hands And bein' there for the leavin' It's a line of cars Parked on a hill Family and friends Perfectly still A prayer and a song As they lowered down into the ground You better hold on tight It's a short short life In the blink of an eye It's outta sight I know I know it seems so slow Yeah it seems so slow But it's flyin' by It's flyin' by It's flyin' by It's flyin' by Enjoy the ride
