Slow Dance Essay Research Paper S L

S L O W D A N C E:

*BR*

*br*

Have you ever watched kids*br*

on a merry-go-round*br*

Or listened to the rain*br*

slapping on the ground?*br**br*

Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight*br*

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?*br**br*

You better slow down*br*

Don’t dance so fast*br*

Time is short*br*

The music won’t last*br*

Do you run through each day on the fly*br*

When you ask “How are you?”*br*

do you hear the reply?*br**br*

When the day is done,*br*

do you lie in your bed*br*

With the next hundred chores*br*

running through your head?*br**br*

You’d better slow down*br*

Don’t dance so fast*br*

Time is short*br*

The music won’t last*br**br*

Ever told your child,*br*

We’ll do it tomorrow*br*

And in your haste, not see his sorrow?*br**br*

Ever lost touch,*br*

Let a good friendship die*br*

‘Cause you never had time*br*

to call and say “Hi”?*br**br*

You’d better slow down*br*

Don’t dance so fast*br*

Time is short*br*

The music won’t last*br**br*

When you run so fast to get somewhere*br*

You miss half the fun of getting there.*br*

When you worry and hurry through your day,*br*

It is like an unopened gift….*br*

Thrown away…*br**br*

Life is not a race.*br*

Do take it slower*br*

Hear the music*br*

Before the song is over.
