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 ?
You'd better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told you 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
$$lDon’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
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 ?
You'd better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told you 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

You miss half the fun of getting there

Thrown away
Life is not a race
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over
