慢舞
曾否观望孩童嬉戏
或倾听雨滴轻击檐角
曾否欣赏彩蝶对舞
或凝视落日消失夜幕
也许是慢舞的时候了
不要走得过快
音乐不会持久
生命亦短促
是否匆匆地度过每日
入睡前又担心明日的事情
是否脚不停步地问候他人
却无心倾听身后的回答
也许是慢舞的时候了
不要走得过快
音乐不会持久
生命亦短促
曾否对孩子许诺过明天
匆忙中却忘却了他的期盼
曾否让宝贵的友谊淡去
只因繁忙中无暇保持联系
也许是慢舞的时候了
不要走得过快
音乐不会持久
生命亦短促
行迹匆匆地赶到终点
全不曾留意路边的景致
忙乱和担心中度过又一天
屋前的鲜花已悄悄地谢去
人生并非赛场
不要走得过快
音乐不会持久
生命亦短促
Slow Dance
Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round,
or listened to rain slapping 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,
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,
"cause you never had time to call and 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 your day,
it is like an unopened gift thrown away.
Life is not a race,
so take it slower,
hear the music before the song is over.
