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.
