Lyrics
BLINK OF AN EYE
© 2010 by Amy Powers, Gina Schock, Gabriel Mann
VERSE 1:
Sunlight is calling A day like any other day
Kids are crawling Up underneath the covers Stop time... this is all mine
Jump when the phone rings
Put out another fire
On to the next thing
Is this the way we're wired - could be
Or maybe it's me
Here in my own small way
I've got my one big chance to change
CHORUS
¬So I'll set my sights just a little bit higher Open my heart just a little bit wider
Anything I can do To give more, love more, to live more
And I'll see things just a little bit clearer
Hold you just a little bit nearer
Anything I can try
Cuz it all goes by
In the blink of an eye
Verse 2
Life hits the hardest
Just when you least expect it
I know you're right here
Why can't I feel connected
Stop time.... Can't we rewind ?
I have too much to lose
And all that I am is what I choose
CHORUS 2:
So I'll set my sights just a little bit higher
Open my heart just a little bit wider
Anything I can do
Feel my faith just a little bit longer
Kiss you just a little bit longer
Anything I can try
Cuz it all goes by
In the blink of an eye
BRIDGE:
I'm gonna listen better
I'll write a love letter
I'll learn from my mistakes
Give more than what I take
Be proud of where I've been
Slow down and take it all in
CHORUS 3:
Leave this world just a little bit brighter
A little less ice, a little more fire
Anything I can try
Cuz it all goes by
In the blink of an eye
