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.
