Slow Dance

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'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.
