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 gazed at the sun into the fading light?
You better slow down, Don't dance so fast.
Time is short. The music wont last.
D 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 lay in bed
With the next hundred chores running through your head?
You better slow down. Don't dance so fast.
Time is short. The music wont last.
Ever told your child we'll do it all 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 better slow down. Don't dance so fast.
Time is short. The music wont last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and you hurry through your day
It is like an unopened gift . . . throw away.
Life is not a race. do take it slower
Hear the music before the song is over.
