are you?”

You'd better slow down

> Ever told your child, 
> We'll do it tomorrow?
> And
> in
your haste,
> Not see his sorrow?
> 
> Ever lost touch, let a good
friendship

> Cause you never had time 
> To call and say,'Hi'
>

You'd better slow down.

> The
music won't last..

> When you run so fast to get

> You miss
half the fun of getting

> When you worry and

your day,
> It is like an

> Thrown away.
> 
> Life is
not a race.
> Do take it slower
> Hear the
> music
> Before the song is
over.
