Steve Forbert - I Blinked Once Lyrics
Childhood often seemed a pain to meSo hard waiting to be grownChildhood climbed up in a white oak treeI blinked once and it was goneAirplane flying across the midnight skyHis tiny lights blinked off and onI watched him move across the moon on high, wellI blinked once and it was goneGone, gone, yeahI blinked once and it was goneA girl I'd met was all I cared for, friendsI called her my very ownWe went down to hear the band beginI blinked once and she was goneGone, gone, yeahI blinked once and she was goneHey[Instrumental Bridge]I won big money on the gambling wheelAnd I thought I’s sitting on a throneBig John told me ‘bout his condo dealI blinked once and it was goneThe nineteen seventies was ten long yearsWas ten long years to sing a songIt kicked off madly with a New Year's cheerI blinked once and it was gone, that’s rightIt’s gone, goneI blinked once and it was goneNow old man's talking bout a gun he'd shotAnd he weren't much more than skin and boneLying there breathing on this worn out cotI blinked once and he was goneHe was gone, gone, yeahI blinked once and he was gone, goneI blinked once and he was gone, GONE, gone, yeahI blinked once and he was gone[Long Instrumental Outro]Hey
