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 better slow down / Don't dance so fast / Time is short / The music won't last Ever told your children / We'll do it tomorrow / And in your haste / not see their 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 an unopened gift / thrown away... Life is not a race / Do take it slower / Hear the music / before the song is over
