Slow Down - Chris Ledoux

I used to laugh with an old friend

Till the busy world pulled him away

Every now and then I see him again

But he’s not the same man I knew yesterday

The smile just grows smaller and smaller

And the worry lines fill up his face

Lately I’m thinking 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

I’ve got to admit I like what I’ve got

But God I sure love what I had

And it’s only on top of the mountain

After burning your life at both ends

You look back to see where you wanna 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

So slow down
