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 too fast.

Time is short.

The music won’t last.

Do u run through each day on the fly?

When u ask, “How are you?”Do you care to hear the reply?

When the day is done do u lie in your bedWith the next hundred chores running through yourhead?
You’d better slow down

Don’t dance too 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 timeTo call and say “hi”!?

You’d better slow downDon’t dance too fast.

Time is short.

The music won’t last.

When you run so fast to get somewhereYou 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..
