By Anonymous
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 in to the fading night?
~Chorus~
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?
~Chorus~
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told your child"We'll do it tomarrow.",
And in your haste,not see their sorrow?
Ever lost touch,let a good friendship die?
Cause you didn't have time,just to call and say ,"Hi"?
~Chorus~
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
~Bridge~
When you run so fast to get somewhere,
You miss half the fun of getting there
When you worry and you hurry throughout your day,
It's like and unopened gift,
Thrown away
Life's not a race
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over
