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.
