SLOW DANCE

Ever watched children on a merry-go-round?
Or listened to rain slapping the ground?
Ever gazed at a butterfly's random flight?
Or followed the sun into the night?
You better slow down, Don't dance so fast.
Our time is short, The music won't last.

Do you speed through days Forever on the fly,
When asked "How're you?" Hear your reply?
When the day is done, Do you lie in your bed,
The next hundred chores Stuck in your head?

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

Our time is short, The music won't last.

Do you tell your child "We'll do it tomorrow,"
Then in your hurry, Miss his sorrow?
Ever lost touch and Let a good friendship die,
'Cause you had no time To call, say "Hi"?

Do you run, run, run Worry-hurry all day?
Like an unopened Gift thrown away.
You better slow down, Don't dance so fast.
Our time is short, The music won't last.
Life's not a race, so Take it slower.
Enjoy the tune Before it's over.
