Slow Down

[Verse 1] Well, I used to laugh with an old friend 'Til the busy world pulled him away Every now and then I see him again But he's not the same man I knew yesterday His smile just grows smaller and smaller And the worry lines fill up his face But lately I'm thinking the next time I see him Just what I'm gonna say [Chorus] Slow down Man in the mirror, slow down You're running too fast to see what life's all about This world ain't a fire for you to put out The best times are here and now Slow down [Verse 2] Some days I look back on the hard times And they really don't seem all that bad Well, I've got to admit, I like what I've got But God, I sure loved what I had But it's only on top of the mountain After burning your life at both ends You look back to see where you want to be Is exactly where you've always been [Chorus] Slow down Man in the mirror, slow down You're running too fast to see what life's all about This world ain't a fire for you to put out The best times are here and now Slow down
