Текст песни Flying By (Original Version) - Billy Ray Cyrus

It's bottles and bibs, rattles and cribs
3 a.m.'s again and again
Comfort the cry
Man, it's flyin' by

Swings and slides and tricycle rides
Skinnin' up knees and fallin' outta trees
It's like it's never gonna end
But it's flyin' by

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 flyin' by

Then it's braces and boots and bad attitudes
Boys and phones and every change in moods
Tryin' 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 yellin' and screamin', it don't seem like it's flyin' by
But it's flyin' by

You better hold on tight to those changin' lives
In the blink of an eye, they're outta sight
I know, I know, it seems so slow
But it's flyin' by

There they go on their own, flyin' by
You're wavin' goodbye with a tear in your eye
I know, I know, you go so slow, but it's flyin' 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 wonderin' how in the world did that get there
It just ain't fair how it's flyin' by

You better hold on tight to that sweet, sweet life
In the blink of an eye, they're outta sight
I know, I know, it goes so slow
But it's flyin' by

When it's hospital beds, last words said, did I do enough?
Holdin' hands and bein' there for the leavin'
It's a line of cars parked on a hill
Family and friends perfectly still
A prayer and a song as they lowered it 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 flyin' by, it's flyin' by
It's flyin' by (flyin' by)
It's flyin' by (flyin' by)
Enjoy the ride (it's flyin' by, flyin' by)
Oh (it's flyin' by, flyin' by)
