Story Behind the Song
Lyrics
Take the time to appreciate the sunrise / Ain't it beautiful /
Hear the mockingbird sing, He's singing his song just for you and me /
Learn to appreciate the simpler things in life / Like whistling Dixie, it's alright / That's what life is all about /
Take the time to appreciate the sunset / ain't it splendid /
Hear the whippoorwill sing, He's singing his song just for you and me /
Learn to appreciate the simpler things in life / Like lending a helping hand,
(and) picking up a friend when he's down /
That's what life is all about /
[CHORUS 1]
Slow down, Take it easy / You're still young, You've only just begun /
There's so much ahead / Slow down, and Take it easy /
[Instrumental]
Take the time to stop and smell the roses / And to say "I love you" / and you'll see that love return /
Learn to appreciate the advice of the elderly /
They have so much knowledge they love to lend / On the voice of experience you can depend /
Learn to appreciate the children / they are what life's all about /
They only know love, till we teach them hate / God bless the little children /
[CHORUS 2]
Slow down, Take it easy / You're still young, You've only just begun /
There's so much ahead / Slow down, Take it easy /
And learn what life's all about / There's no reason to hurry /
Slow down, and Take it easy /
