Slow Dance
Have you ever watched kids
On the merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazedat the sun in 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 hearthe reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in yourbed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You 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 run so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day
It's like an unopened gift...
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower.
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
