  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.
