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'd 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 some 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's not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
