Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round

 
Or listened to rain
When it's hitting the ground?

Ever stopped to follow a butterfly's flight,

Or gazed at the sun as it fades into night?

You'd better slow down -
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short;
The music won't last.

Are you running through
All of your days on the fly?

After asking, "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
 

When the day is done,
Do you lie in your bed

With the next hundred chores
Filling your head?
 

You'd better slow down -
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short;
The music won't last.

Ever said to your child,

"We'll do it tomorrow,"

And in your haste
Not seen 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 be somewhere

You miss all the fun of just getting there.


 
 

When you worry and hurry
All through your day,
It's like an unopened gift

 Being thrown away.
 

Life isn't a race -
Do take it slower.
Listen to the music

Before the song is over.
