Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids  

On a merry-go round

Or listened to the rain

Slapping on the ground

Ever followed a butterflies erractic flight  

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night    

You better slow down

Don't dance too 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 better slow down

Don't dance too fast

Time is short

The music won't last

Ever told a child we'll do it tomorrow

And in your haste, not seen his sorrow

Ever lost touch

Let a good friendship die

Because you never had the time to call and say "hi"

You better slow down

Don't dance too 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

Its like an unopened gift thrown away

Life is NOT a race

DO take it slower

Listen to the music

Before the song is over
