Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain slapping the ground.

Ever followed a butterfly's' erra tic 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 ask how are you.

Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done,

do you lie in your bed with the next 100 chores running through your head?

You better slow down.

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

Ever told your child,

will 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 better slow down.

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

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.
