Slow dance Have you watched kids, on a merry-go-round? Or listen 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 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 or her sorrow? Ever lost touch and 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 run through your day It’s like an unopened gift thrown away Life is not a race; do take it slower Hear the music; before the song is over!
