slowdance

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round

Or listened to the rainslapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erraticflight

Or gazed at the sun into the fadingnight?

You better slow down

Don't dance so fast

Time is short

The music won't last

Do you run through each day on thefly

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 hissorrow?

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 yourday

,It is like an unopened gift....

Thrown away...

Life is not a race.

Do take it slower

Hear the music

Before he song is over.
