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 wont last.


Do you run through each day,
On the fly?


When you ask How are you?
Do you hear a reply?


When the day is done,
Do you lie on 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 wont last.


Ever lost touch?
Let a good friendship die
Because you never had time
To call and say Hi


When you ran so fast to get somewhere,
You miss half of the fun 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.
