[Verse 1]
Well, I used to laugh with an old friend
'Til the busy world pulled him away
Every now and then I see him again
But he's not the same man I knew yesterday
His smile just grows smaller and smaller
And the worry lines fill up his face
But lately I'm thinking the 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
Well, I've got to admit, I like what I've got
But God, I sure loved what I had
But it's only on top of the mountain
After burning your life at both ends
You look back to see where you want to be
Is exactly where you've always been
Well, I used to laugh with an old friend
'Til the busy world pulled him away
Every now and then I see him again
But he's not the same man I knew yesterday
His smile just grows smaller and smaller
And the worry lines fill up his face
But lately I'm thinking the 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
Well, I've got to admit, I like what I've got
But God, I sure loved what I had
But it's only on top of the mountain
After burning your life at both ends
You look back to see where you want to be
Is exactly where you've always been
