> 
> 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.
