Slow Down

Slow Down (c)2013 John Meisel, Parking lot, Sterling, VA


CHORUS:

G C G F C G

people won't you slow down, slow down and smell the flowers

people won't you slow down, and take a look at what's around

Have you ever sat and watched the sky/On a slow and lazy afternoon

Sat and watched the soft, white clouds above?

Feel the sun against your skin and on your face

Let its warmth penetrate your shell/And open up to the joy it freely offers

Lay down flat against the ground/press your back into the fragrant Earth

Rest your head in a pile of leaves/dried golden in the daylight

Roll around and somersault, or turn a couple of cartwheels

And let the sounds of quiet sing you to sleep

CHORUS

G C G F C

remember back when you were young, doing what you wanted to do

G C D

spent your time with friends and by yourself

when did we lose that happiness and why did we choose to give it up

when we could keep the magic in our lives


well there's no need to worry friend/you know your days of love don't have to end

throw off your clothes and put on a smile/let's dance and sing for a little while

laugh in the nighttime, laugh all day/raise your voices and let me hear you say


CHORUS ...people won't you slow down
