Don't Hurry Life
Just what’s the point of it all I
say.
Can you make an hour last a day?
Ever smelled a flower before it bloomed?
Ever been to a party before you were
groomed?
Have you eaten a meal before it was
done?
Can’t say I have; wouldn’t be any
fun!
Been ticketed for speeding; going
too fast?
Slow down, take it easy, make your
life last!
Ease up on the pedal, put on the
brake.
Just slow it on down, For goodness
sake!
So why such a hurry, all of the time?
Working faster; will you earn one
more dime?
Ever see the morning before the sunshine?
Always out of bed before the clock
strikes nine?
Don’t be in a hurry, we’re all growing
old.
Don’t leave a recital before the
story is told.
Slow down, take it easy, hear the
birds sing.
Try and take notice of what life
has to bring!
