Ross Durand - Don't Blink

from SpinTunes 16 Round 2 by Spintunes

/

lyrics

You got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 little fingers
And 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 little toes
Two eyes, two ears, but you only got one nose
There’s 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, pennies in a nickel
And five more in a dime
Ain’t it nice when life is simple
But that changes over time

Now you turned 13, 14, 15, 16
I can’t tell you anything
Well I can say it, but you won’t hear it
I guess you think I’m just muttering
You remember when life was simple
Wish you knew it’s simple still
CAn’t wait to see who you’re becoming
Like I know I will

So I Don’t Blink
Cause every little bit counts
I take it all in, And let it sink in
In large and small amounts

Now you’re 17,18,19, 20
Out in the world you go
You don’t look back
But I can’t stop watching
Life ain’t simple, don’tcha know


And I don’t blink
Cause every little bit counts
I take it all in and let it sink in
In large and small amounts
(but who’s counting)


I see you once in a while
And you’re twice the person I ever dreamed you’d be
You said three little words and off you go
To be happy for eternity
But you know life ain’t always that simple
Like your finding out
And now you got one of yer own
That you can teach to count

And they’ve got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 little fingers
And 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 little toes
Enjoy it while their life’s still simple
Cause that changes as they grow

And don’t blink
Cause every little bit counts
Take it all in and let it sink
In large and small amounts
And don’t blink
