Slow Dance Essay, Research Paper
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.
