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.
