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  just gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast.

Cause time is short, and 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, and you lie in your bed

with the next hundred chores, running through your head?

You'd better slow down, don't dance so fast.

Cause time is short, and the music won't last.

Ever told your child, we'll do it tomorrow?

And in your haste, not see their 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.

Cause time is short, and 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’s like an unopened gift, that’s been thrown away.

Life is not a race, do take it slower

Hear the music,………. before the song is over.

Hear the music,………. before the song is over.

Hear the music,………. before the song is over.
