Ever

Have you ever watched kids on the merry-go-round,

Or listened to rain slapping the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic飄忽不定的flight,

Or gazed at the sun fading into the 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 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 seen his sorrow?

Ever lost touch, let a good friendship die

Because you never had time to say "Hi"?

You 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 every day,

It's like an unopened gift thrown away.

Life's not race, so take it slower,

Hear the music before the song is over.
