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
