Blink of an Eye

Time is moving forward No way to turn the clock back It's better to leave them behind to stay on track I hear them calling out, shouting out my name Finding ways to cope And to replace what is gone Those fond memories are Too much to dwell on Once a fleeting occurrence Resonates harder in its absence Hold them close While they're still in arms reach Let them go and Value the lessons they teach Why, oh why Time flies by in the blink of an eye Didn't know it would be this hard Wish I knew that from the start I'm here to preach, to testify That life goes by in the blink of an eye So hold them close While they're still in arms reach They're calling out my name Wondering where I have been Though it's hard to part ways Our time has come to an end No matter how much it hurts What purpose does holding on serve? Let them go Value the lessons they teach Once they pass Someone will fill their seat So hold them close While they're still in arms reach Why, oh why Time flies by in the blink of an eye Didn't know it would be this hard Wish I knew that from the start I'm here to preach, to testify That life goes by in the blink of an eye So hold them close While they're still in arms reach Oh Hold them close While they're still in arms reach Keep them close to your heart, oh no Hold them close While they're still in arms reach Well you know it's for the best Hold them close While they're still in arms reach Oh Hold them close While they're still in arms reach
