Flying By

Billy Ray Cyrus

It's bottles and bibs

Rattles and cribs

3 AM's again and again

Comfort the cry

Man it's flying by

Swings and slides

And tricycle rides

Skinning up knees

And falling outta trees

It's like it's never gonna end

But it's flying by

[Chorus]

You better hold on tight

To those little lives

In the blink of an eye

It's outta sight

I know I know to go so slow

But it's flying by

Then it's braces and boots

And bad attitudes

Boys and phones

And every change in moods

Trying times man

But you'll survive

And it's supposed to be home at ten

You're late again

Where the heck you been

When you're yelling and screaming

It don't seem like it's flying by

But it's flying by

[Chorus]

There they go on their own

Flying by

You're waving good bye with a tear in your eye

I know I know you go so slow

But it's flying by

They come back home

And what do you know

Them kids have got some kids of their own

You can't believe how much they've grown

And where the time's gone

You look in the mirror

There's gray in your hair

You're wondering how the world did that get there

It just ain't fair

How it's flying by

[Chorus]

When it's hospital beds

Last words said

Did I do enough

Holding hands

And being there for the leaving

It's a line of cars

Parked on a hill

Family and friends

Perfectly still

A prayer and a song

As they lowered down into the ground

You better hold on tight

It's a short short life

In the blink of an eye

It's outta sight

I know I know it seems so slow

Yeah it seems so slow

But it's flying by

It's flying by

It's flying by

It's flying by

Enjoy the ride
