SLOW DANCE ( BALLO LENTO ) DI SUSAN DA NEW YORK
-----------------------------------------------------------
HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED KIDS
ON A MERRY, GO, ROUND?
OR LISTENED TO THE RAIN
SLAPPI NG ON THE GROUND ?

EVER FOLLOWED A BUTTERFLY'S ERRATIC FLIGHT?

OR GAZED AT THE SUN INTO THE FADING 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 ?

WEN YOU ASK HOW ARE YOU ?

DO YOU EAR 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

-------------------------
DONT DANCE TO 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< BR>

CAUSE YOU NEVER HAD TIME

TO CALL AND SAY, HI'

YU'D BETTER SLOW DOWN,

DONT 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.
