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.
