Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to laugh with an old friend
But the busy world pulled him away
Every now and then, I see him again
But he's not the same man I knew yesterday
[Verse 2]
His smile just grew smaller and smaller
And the worry lines filled up his face
Lately, I'm thinking, next time I see him
Just what I'm gonna say
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Slow down
[Verse 5]
Some days I look back on the hard times
And they really don't seem all that bad
I've got to admit, I love what I've got
But God how I loved what I had
[Verse 6]
And it's only on top of the mountain
After burning your life at both ends
You look back and see where you wanna be
Is exactly where you've always been
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Slow down
Slow down
You better slow down, boy
