Slow Dance.

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain
Slapping 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.
