SLOW DANCE

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED KIDS
ON A MERRY-GO-ROUND
OR LISTENED TO THE RAIN
AS IT SLAPPS ON THE GROUND

EVER FOLLOW A BUTTERFLY
IN ITS ERRATIC FLIGHT
OR GAZED AT THE SUN
IN THE FADING DAYLIGHT

YOU BETTER SLOW DOWN
DON'T DANCE SO FAST
TIME IS SHORT
THE MUSIC WON'T LAST

DO YOU RUN THRU EACH DAY
AND NEVER LOOK AT THE SKY
WHEN YOU ASK"HOW ARE YOU"
DO YOU EVER HEAR THE REPLY

WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
DO YOU LIE IN YOUR BED
WITH THE NEXT HUNDRED CHORES
RUNNING THRU 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 SEE HIS SORROW

HAVE YOU EVER LOST TOUCH
LET A GOOD FRIENDSHIP DIE
CAUSE YOU NEVER HAD THE TIME
TO JUST 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 HURRY AND WORRY
YOUR WAY THRU THE DAY
IT'S LIKE AN UNOPENED GIFT
YOU'VE DECIDED TO THROW AWAY

LIFE IS NOT A RACE
DO TAKE IT SLOWER
LISTEN TO THE MUSIC
BEFORE YOUR SONG IS OVER
