La chanson évoque le passage du temps et l'importance de savourer chaque moment de la vie. Elle raconte l’histoire d’un homme âgé qui partage sa sagesse sur la rapidité avec laquelle la vie file, à travers les différentes étapes de l’existence, de l'enfance à la vie de couple, puis au vieillissement. Il souligne que chaque instant compte et qu'il ne faut pas prendre les choses pour acquises. La notion de ne pas cligner des yeux symbolise la nécessité d’être présent et de chérir les souvenirs avant qu’ils ne s’évanouissent. Le contexte de cette réflexion réside dans la fugacité de la vie et dans le fait que, malgré les projets et les rêves, le temps peut nous échapper sans que l’on s’en rende compte. Cela nous invite à mettre en avant les choses essentielles et à vivre pleinement chaque jour que Dieu nous donne.
