The music won't last

The Music Won't Last

           Have you ever watched kids 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'd 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.
