Stop and Smell the Roses

You gotta stop and smell the roses

You gotta count your many blessings everyday

You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road

If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way

Hey Mister, where you goin' in such a hurry?

Don't you think it's time you realized

There's a whole lot more to life than work and worry

The sweetest things in life are free

And they're right before your eyes

You gotta stop and smell the roses

You gotta count your many blessings everyday

You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road

If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way

Before you went to work this morning in the city

Did you spend some time with your family?

Did you kiss your wife and tell her that she's pretty?

Did you take your children to your breast and love them tenderly?

You gotta stop and smell the roses

You gotta count your many blessings everyday

You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road

If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way

Did you ever take a walk through the forest?

Stop and dream a while among the trees

Well you can look up through the leaves right straight to heaven

And you can almost hear the voice of God

In each and every breeze

You gotta stop and smell the roses

You gotta count your many blessings everyday

You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road

If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way

You gotta stop and smell the roses

You gotta count your many blessings everyday

You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road

If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way

You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road

If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way

C'mon stop, smell the roses along the way
