S L O W D A N C E

 

 

 

 Have you ever watched kids
 On a merry-go-round
 Or listened to the rain
 Lapping on the ground?

 

 

 

 Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight

 

 

 

 Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
 You better slow down
 Don't dance so fast
 Time is short
 The music won't last.
 Do you run through each day on the fly?
 When you ask "How are you?"
 Do you hear the reply?
 When the day is done,
 Do you lie in your bed
 With the next hundred chores
 Running through your head?
 You'd better slow down
 Don't dance so fast
 Time is short
 The music won't last.
 Ever told your child,
 We'll do it tomorrow
 And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
 Ever lost touch,
 Let a good friendship die
 'Cause you never had time
 To call and say "Hi"?
 You'd better slow down
 Don't dance so fast
 Time is short
 The music won't last.
 
When you run so fast to get somewhere
 You miss half the fun of getting there.

 

 

 

 When you worry and hurry through your day,
 It is like an unopened gift....
 Thrown away...
 Life is not a race.
 Do take it slower
 Hear the music
 Before the song is over.
