Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round, or listened to
rain slapping 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 it 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 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 and
unopened gift thrown away. Life is not a race, so take it slower,
hear the music before the song is over.
