Blink Lyrics - Two Wolves - John Flynn

It starts off early in a sandbox 

We blink as sand gets in our eyes 

We blink up at the sun in wonder 

We blink and somehow time just flies 

We blink and we are in a schoolyard 

We blink and drive dad's Chevrolet 

We blink and we stand at an altar 

And soon a baby's on the way 

We blink and toddlers are teenagers 

We blink and grandkids say hello 

And in their eyes we see our parents 

And in our hearts we miss them so 

We squint and look around for glasses 

to read that some old friend has died 

We blink them as our eyes grow tired 

And all too soon we close them wide 

We blink like summer evening fireflies 

Out on eternity's front lawn 

and though we vanish in a moment 

the love we share keeps shining on 

I blink in disbelief that heaven 

has given me these precious years 

with you and I will still be grateful 

long after we have blinked... 

back tears
