作词 : Michael Rosenberg 作曲 : Michael Rosenberg I was a dreamer when I was young Lying on the grass and staring at the sky I never felt that time was moving on I thought it would stay the same for all my life
Playing games under christmas lights When the world was warm and bright But that time just seemed to fly In the blinking of an eye
I was a joker when I was at school Smoking grass laughing and getting high I never cared about nothing at all I thought it would stay the same for all my life
Kissing girls under summer nights When the world was big and bright But that time just passed me by In the blinking of an eye
I left home at seventeen Tried to get into the music scene It wore me down like an old machine I learned how to work and forgot how to dream
I fell in love at twenty one Down in the grass getting lost in her wide eyes Wouldn't have traded for anyone I thought it would stay the same for all my life
But I was just too young to know I let her down and let her go And that time taught me how to cry In the blinking of an eye Yeah in the blinking of an eye
I hit the road at twenty three Stood in the grass singing songs for passers by Footloose and fancy free I thought it would stay the same for all my life
Oh and practice taught me how to preach I touched a world so out of reach And that time it lived and died In the blinking of an eye
It all changed at twenty nine My boat came in and the stars aligned I watched a simple song of mine Travel the world in the blink of an eye
Now I'm here at thirty six Down in the grass trying to make sense of it all Maybe there's no easy fix The highest highs come with the hardest falls See the good times come and go Like the people that you know And all you can do is try For it's gone in the blink of an eye
