Slow down...

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 through your head?

You better slow down

Don't dance so fast

Time is short

The music won't last

Ever told your child

"We'll do i tomorrow"

And in your haste

not seen 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...
