Wait world...slow it down a bit...
Everything's going too fast.
What I need is a little time
To make a few quiet moments last.

A little time when I get a chance
To stop and smell the flowers.
Just a few moments is all I ask...
I wouldn't think of asking for hours.

It seems I have forgotten
How nice it is to see...
A sunrise or a sunset...
That was put there just for me.

How nice it is to listen to
And talk to a little child...
Instead of being so aware of
How the world has gone wild.

Or how nice it is the first time
I smell the blossoms on an orange tree...
How nice it is when there is quality time...
Just for you and me.

Please slow things doen just a little bit...
Til I get back on line
With my life as it used to be...
When there seemed to be the time.
