Blink of an Eye Lyrics

Time is moving forward

No way to turn the clock back

It's better to leave them behind

to stay on track

I hear them calling out, shouting out my name

Finding ways to cope

And to replace what is gone

Those fond memories are

Too much to dwell on

Once a fleeting occurrence

Resonates harder in its absence

Hold them close

While they're still in arms reach

Let them go and

Value the lessons they teach

Why, oh why

Time flies by in the blink of an eye

Didn't know it would be this hard

Wish I knew that from the start

I'm here to preach, to testify

That life goes by in the blink of an eye

So hold them close

While they're still in arms reach

They're calling out my name

Wondering where I have been

Though it's hard to part ways

Our time has come to an end

No matter how much it hurts

What purpose does holding on serve?

Let them go

Value the lessons they teach

Once they pass

Someone will fill their seat

So hold them close

While they're still in arms reach

Why, oh why

Time flies by in the blink of an eye

Didn't know it would be this hard

Wish I knew that from the start

I'm here to preach, to testify

That life goes by in the blink of an eye

So hold them close

While they're still in arms reach

Oh

Hold them close

While they're still in arms reach

Keep them close to your heart, oh no

Hold them close

While they're still in arms reach

Well you know it's for the best

Hold them close

While they're still in arms reach

Oh

Hold them close

While they're still in arms reach
