Michael Mcdonald - Blink Of An Eye lyrics

By george perilli and michael mcdonald Child, as i look in your eyes You know my life seems like a minute There i find living proof Of all the wonder life hold in it In the past i thought i had to learn Any good that comes from this life we're living Here and now, let us realize That this life's gift and it's already been given Chorus: Someday when you stand in the middle Like it or not you're gonna look both ways You're gonna find that time is a riddle Where days turn into years And years into the blink of an eye Child, once i saw a man on the tv Lead a nation up a mountain He said, children, look over yonder The flame of truth is burning brightly Sometimes you look so far, there's only so much time Only so many of us are gonna get there Here and now is all we really have But if we can make it count We got no reason to worry Chorus: You're gonna walk that mile You're gonna be in that number You're gonna make that journey Just like the good book says There's a time to be born, a time to cross over You can be sure it's in the blink of an eye
