The Music Won't Last
Have you ever watched kids 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
do you lie in your bed
with the next hundred chores running through your head?
You 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 you 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.
Whenyou worry had hurry through your day
It's like an unopened gift...Thrown away
Life is not a race
Do take it slower
Hear the music.........before the song is over.
