TEACH ME TO NUMBER MY DAYS
AND COUNT EVERY MOMENT BEFORE IT SLIPS AWAY
TAKING ALL THE COLORS BEFORE THEY FADE TO GRAY
I DON’T WANT TO MISS EVEN JUST A SECOND MORE OF THIS
IT HAPPENS IN A BLINK, IT HAPPENS IN A FLASH
IT HAPPENS IN THE TIME IT TOOK TO LOOK BACK
I TRY TO HOLD ON TIGHT, BUT THERE’S NO STOPPING TIME
WHAT IS IT I’VE DONE WITH MY LIFE
IT HAPPENS IN A BLINK, IT HAPPENS IN A BLINK
(IT HAPPENS IN A BLINK, IT HAPPENS IN A BLINK)
WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE
NO ONE REMEMBERS HOW FAR WE HAVE RUN
THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS HOW WE HAVE LOVED
I DON’T WANT TO MISS EVEN JUST A SECOND MORE OF THIS
SLOW DOWN, SLOW DOWN
BEFORE TODAY BECOMES OUR YESTERDAY
SLOW DOWN, SLOW DOWN
BEFORE YOU TURN AROUND AND IT’S TOO LATE
