You Dance Too Fast

Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry-go-round, or listened to the rain lapping 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.
