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?
W hen 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.
