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\'d 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 you 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.
