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 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 all you haste,
No see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
to call and say 'Hi'
You 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.
