Flying By lyrics

It s bottles and bibs, rattles and cribs
Three am s again and again
Comfort the cry
Man, it s flying by

Swings and slides and tricycle rides
Skinning up knees and falling out of trees
It s like it s never gonna end
But it s flying by

You better hold on tight to those little lives
In the blink of an eye it s out of sight
I know, I know to go so slow
But it s flying by

Then it s braces and boots and bad attitudes
Boys and phones and every change in moods
Trying times, man, but you ll survive
And it s supposed to be home at ten
You re late again
Where the heck you been
When you re yelling and screaming
It don t seem like it s flying by
But it s flying by

You better hold on tight to those changing lives
In the blink of an eye they re out of sight
I know, I know it seems so slow
But it s flying by

There they go on their own
Flying by
You re waving good bye with a tear in your eye
I know, I know you go so slow but it s flying by

They come back home and what do you know
Them kids have got some kids of their own
You can t believe how much they ve grown
And where the time s gone

You look in the mirror there s gray in your hair
You re wondering how the world did that get there
It just ain t fair how it s flying by

You better hold on tight to that sweet, sweet life
In the blink of an eye they re out of sight
I know, I know it goes so slow
But it s flying by

When it s hospital beds
Last words said, did I do enough
Holding hands and being there for the leaving

It s a line of cars parked on a hill
Family and friends perfectly still
A prayer and a song as they lowered it down into the ground

You better hold on tight it s a short, short life
In the blink of an eye it s out of sight
I know, I know it seems so slow

Yeah, it seems so slow but it s flying by
It s flying by

It s flying by
It s flying by
Enjoy the ride
