SLOW DANCE

  

Have you ever watched kids</span>

  

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

  

!

<span style=”font-size: 12pt;”>  

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"

  

<span style="font-size: 12pt; color: white;”>
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.

  

  

On a merry-go-round?

  

Or listened to the rain

  

Slapping on the ground?
