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.
