Flying By

It's bottles and bibs Rattles and cribs 3 AM's again and again Comfort the cry Man it's flying by Swings and slides And tricycle rides Skinning up knees And falling outta trees It's like it's never gonna end But it's flying by [Chorus] You better hold on tight To those little lives In the blink of an eye It's outta 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 down into the ground You better hold on tight It's a short short life In the blink of an eye It's outta 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
