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'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.
