Have u ever watched kids on a merry-go-round?
or listened to the rain falling on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's eratic 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 ur head?
You'd better slow down, don't dance so fast.
Time is short, The music won't last.
Ever told a 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"?
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's like an unopened gift.. thrown away
Life is not a race.. do take it slower
Hear the music before the song is over
