lyrics

As life passes by in a blink of an… I digress
Have I won or lost, was my record some warped mis-press
Or a No 1, oh the fun, games and what remains
kept in my head not to forget, with no complaints

Blink of an I am passing by is it too late?
In the blink of an eye, my life passes by.

I can sit and have a fit ‘bout decisions that I’ve made
It can’t be rectified or simplified, the memories just fade
Good for the soul to contemplate a greater fate?
Best for the brain to take the train with no return date

Blink of an I am passing by is it too late?
In a blink of an eye, my life passes by.

It’s all for the good it’s understood, that’s my guess
That pride is justified not cast aside or undressed
I play the film again the same refrains, hit rewind
repeat and watch the same and don’t delete frames in my mind

Blink of an I am passing by is it too late?
In the blink of an eye, my life passed me by.
