>     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'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.
