Flying By

作词 : Jeffrey Steele/Tom Hambridge/Joanna Smith

作曲 : Jeffrey Steele/Tom Hambridge/Joanna Smith

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
