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.

          You got mine,

          I'll help you out

          Anytime.

                    ~*~*~

                    To see you hurt

          To see you cry,

          Makes me weep

          And wanna die.

                    ~*~*~

                    And if you agree

          To never fight,

          It wouldn't matter

          Who's wrong or right.

                    ~*~*~

                    If a broken heart

          Needs a mend,

          I'll be right there

          To the end.

                    ~*~*~

                    If your cheeks are wet

          From drops of tears,

          Don't you worry,

          Let go of your fears.

                    ~*~*~

                    Hand in hand

          Love is sent,

          We'll be friends

          Till the end.

                    ~*~*~
