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 thru' 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.
