[Verse 1]
He said, "Don't you blink"
Soak it up 'cause next thing
You know, you turn around and wonder where your whole life's gone
Remember it's about the journey
Don't fill your days with worry
Sure, them youngins drive you crazy but you'll miss 'em when they're grown

[Chorus]
Oh, time ain't always your friend
It starts slow and gets faster towards the end
So fill up your heart with love, pass it on before you go
And thank the man upstairs that you were there to plant a seed and watch it grow

[Verse 2]
True love and the gospel
Might take a while to blossom
But you dig down in that garden and you plant 'em anyways
Just let God be the farmer, he's got the sun and water
It's up to him to let 'em bloom
And let 'em see the light of day

[Chorus]
Oh, time ain't always your friend
It starts slow and gets faster towards the end
So fill up your heart with love, pass it on before you go
And thank the man upstairs that you were there to plant a seed and watch it grow
[Chorus]
Oh, time ain't always your friend
It starts slow and gets faster towards the end
So fill up your heart with love, pass it on before you go
And thank the man upstairs that you were there to plant a seed and watch it grow
