Tori Kelly - Blink Of An Eye Lyrics

I really want a proper recorded version of this.. Dissapoints me there's only this version even tho it is beautiful I just really admire this song

It's 2 am, I can't believe you're gone
Isn't it strange how
One life ends, but the clocks upon the wall
They keep ticking on and on and on
What were your last words?
Happened so fast Lord
Can't help but think who you would be
If you just had the chance to turn 23, oh

It's 2 am, still don't believe you're gone
And the world keeps spinning on
You had so many songs
Left to sing, so many stories that I'll never get to read
Heaven holds you in its arms
And now I'm down here learning how to say goodbye
In the blink of an eye

It's hard to think with all this extra noise
They're talking so loud
But, you're quiet now while your melody plays on
And I'll just sing along, along, along
When you took your last breath
You had so much life left
Can't help but think it could have been me out there
Chasing a dream when suddenly it all stops... In a heartbeat

There's so many songs
Left to sing, so many stories that I'll never get to read
And heaven holds you in it's arms
And now I'm down here learning how to say goodbye
In the blink of an eye
Ohhh
In the blink of an eye
Ohhh

Protect you

It’s 2020 and I still listening to this song💔🥺

My grandpa passed away 8 days before Christmas in 2018. I haven't spoken to him in years since I left my hometown. My family didn't tell me. I found out through social media. They got upset when I expressed my condolences....I miss him so much. It's so hard. I've been depressed for over a year..I barely eat. I come home from work and go straight to my room and listen to music. I quit talking to alot of people. 😢
I fake smile and say "I'm ok".
I love Tori Kelly and the fact that she wrote "Your Words" for her grandpa...I love this one too. My grandpa's birthday is next month. I want to do a cover but I'm not sure which one.

Rest in peace ..💔💔 Xxxtentacion l miss you sm havent forgot abt you😞 almost 2 years in 4 months

RIP Kobe Bryant, Gianna Bryant and everyone on board that helicopter ❤️

So relevant right now. Thinking of Gigi, Kobe and all the lives lost yesterday.

2020 and this song still breaking my heart like the first day 🥺

Spotify?

My sister died last week.....and I cant begin to explain how much this song hits me in my soul....just when i start to feel better...she pops in my mind again..... I remember a couple of weeks before you left, You were so suicidal andYou told me no one would even miss you so stop worrying about you.... If you could only see how many came to your wake.....crying.....wishing we all could just get one more moment with you.....god I've never felt such pain before....I mean my son got cancer so this is probably one of the worst emotional painful things I've ever had to endure....I'll never be the same again

Beautiful ❤️

Long live Mauricio 💙 Fly high cousin, I love you so much 💔🤞🏼

back listening to this song and I still can't believe this is true...

I still cannot believe you are gone

I don’t know how she sang this without bursting into sobs. It’s so beautiful yet ouch. Love you Tori. Bless your soul Christina.

Still touches me to this day

Just had a friend of mine commit suicide a day ago. Listened to this song a lot while mourning her.

anyone else here after 3 years? this is so beautiful

Is this song in spotify?

Beautiful 💔❤️

*RIP CAMERON BOYCE* ❤️

This song reminds me of a girl in my family called Katie , died at 5 years old of a brain tumour on the 20th of July of this year ❤️ i miss her and it makes me so sad that she won’t be able to experience anything more in life . But also , she lived the best life she could and we celebrate her life every day ❤️ rest easy baby Katie

The beautiful sound that ive ever heard juat you tori kelly. You always made me be falling in deep on all of your song 😭

I had to come back to this video

Cameron Boyce passed a few days ago and this is the only song that I can listen to that explains how I feel... He was so young...He had so much more to experience...Its weird how you can see a person now doing just fine and here and gone the next but also sad how the world keeps moving on . Because of him, I will be even more kind and more selfless when it comes to others💖Thx Tori for writing this I heard it years ago but never needed it until now✨REST IN PARADISE CAM❤️🥳

I came back 2 years later when I found out Cameron Boyce passed away...

Anyone else here after hearing Cameron Boyce passed away😔

Rest In Peace Cameron Boyce . Get your rest bub ❤️

rip cameron boyce

today i've returned to this video but with a different dedication. cameron boyce. i grew up watching him. i watched him grow. he was such a genuine person and my heart will ache forever. rest in peace, beautiful soul.

Aussie Girl my heart is broken. I cannot come to terms with the fact that he’s gone. His death has showed me how quick life is and how much I need to cherish it. So so so hurt over this.. this will never sit right with me 💔

I wanna kill myself

Same here 💔

@Lena May Duzen Didn't really think anyone would see this, let alone reply, and then feel the same. I'm here if you wanna talk. @terancecollins on Instagram. Or if you just wanna have a friend. I'm here for as long as I'm here. We gotta push through.

@Terance Collins thank you ❤ same here, life is very rough

Yes we will push through and make it

@Lena May Duzen We have too, why,I haven't gotten that far yet, but i know we have to

❤❤❤

It's been three years now.I never said this at the time for some reason, but the lyric that got me..."What were your last words?"She saw that man coming up to her. She thought he was just shy, so she opened her arms for a hug. That was the very last thing she did.For all we know, her last words could have been "Hi! What's your name?" or "Don't be shy, it's ok." But no one got them.That's why it hurts as much today.

Rest easy sarah Segerstrom ❤️💔

Cristina Grimmie forever!!!!

Just found you via that lovely remembrance YouTube playlist ... and now I'm crying cause I lost a friend recently due to suicide, and if this wouldn't be enough it happened in the night to my birthday ... 😦 This song is so beautiful, even if it's been written to Christina I really hope he can hear it too in heaven. May they both rest in peace and love!

such a beautiful song.

Omg!! Why does it take so long to hear this song!!

This needs to be on Apple Music asap!!!!!

i just love you so much

I love this

This isn’t just a song, it’s beautiful poetry.

This is so pretty❤️

is this song on spotify?

I remember. It's song make so strong emotions. Thank you

such a beautiful song, i love singing this

My best friend died and this song is in her dedication video can't stop listening to it💙😭⚰️

Are you doing ok now? ❤️❤️❤️

It still hurts💙 but I know that she wouldn't want me being sad the she's gone she would would want me to be happy for the time we had. I just can't help every breathe I take I think of how I could've done something about it or to prevent it. I miss her more and more every day😔💙 thank you it helps to talk to people.

@Leia Rees I'm not sure what happened to cause her death but I know she would want you to be happy. My best friend almost died from a brain aneurysm a year ago and even though she's alive I'm still dealing with the effects. Time helps but it won't ever completely heal. You're strong and you'll keep making progress!! I believe in you. God's watching over you too and loves you so much. He says so in the Bible. 💓 love you girly. Stay strong. 😊

hungry I know that I do not know you but I'm great full for you and I will pray for you and your friend💙 thank you so much I just don't have any words to describe the pain but ik that she's happy in paradise🌅💙

I went here cause i miss this song.. please studio record this tori.. it's soo beautiful.. ❤💕

Happy birthday Christina ❤

Was thinking about Christina, who grew up just a few miles away from me, tonight and visited here. Heartbreaking. This song is beautiful.

lost my friend in a car accident two months ago and i belt this with tears streaming everyday to work. my heart aches. nothing can prepare you for unexpected loss and i wish i had answers. “when you took your last breath you had so much life left.”

Missing Christina again and this song is such a gift thank you Tori❤️

It's 2 AM
I can't believe you're gone
Isn't it strange how
One life ends
With the clocks up on the wall
They keep ticking on
And on and on

What were your last words
Happened so fast Lord
Can't help but think what you would be
If you just had the chance to turn 23

It's 2 AM
Still don't believe you're gone
And the world keeps spinning on
You had so many songs
Left to sing, so many stories that I'll never get to read
And it holds you in its arms
And now I'm down here learning how to say goodbye
In the blink of an eye

It's hard to think
With all this extra noise
They're talking so loud
But you're quiet now
While your melody plays on
And I'll just sing along
Along, along

When you took your last breath
You had so much life left
Can't help but think it could've been me out there
Chasing a dream when suddenly it all stops
In a heartbeat

There's so many songs left to sing
So many stories that I'll never get to read
And heaven holds you in it's arms
And I'm down here learning how to say goodbye
In the blink of an eye
In the blink of an eye

Tori is amazing! Never forget where you came from Tori. You belong to the Lord Jesus !

Rip Christina GRIMMIE we love u 💞you are gone but never forgotten miss you

You should release this as a single, Tori. And perhaps the money made from the song could be donated to the Christina Grimmie Foundation? <3
