Have you ever watched kids on a merry go round,
Or listened to the rain, slappin’ the ground.
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight, Or gazed at the sun into the fading light.
You better slow down don’t dance so fast,
The time is short and the music won’t last.
Do you run thru each day on the fly,
When you ask how are you do you hear the reply.
When the day is done do you lie on your bed,
With the next hundred chores running through your head.
You better slow down don’t dance so fast,
The time is short and 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 better slow down don’t dance so fast,
The time is short and the music won’t last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere,
You miss all the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through each day,
It’s like an unopened gift that’s thrown away.
You better slow down don’t dance so fast,
The time is short and the music won’t last.
You better slow down don’t dance so fast,
The time is short and the music won’t last.
