Turn Around Slowly

Bb  Gm
Dm Eb F

  Bb                    Eb
I met a grandfather and all of his children
    F                     Bb
And as we were talking, a tear filled his eye.
   Bb                    Eb
He smiled at my child; I handed her to him
     F                   Bb
And just for a moment he went back in time.

      Bb                    Eb
He remembered the dreams of having a family,
   F                      Bb
Of holding the ones that God sent his way.
    Bb                          Eb
The joy they would bring him to make his heart larger.
     F                        Eb     F
Then he looked in my eyes and said:

Bb                  Gm
Turn around slowly. Time is a racer.
    Dm                        Eb          F
The wink of an eye takes you from here to there.
Bb                      Gm
Turn around slowly, and treasure your days here.
Dm             Eb          F          Bb
These precious moments may come to be rare.

      Bb                 Eb
In a flash, he discovered my foolish wishes.
  F                          Eb          F
I wished she was walking and talking and more.
    Bb                  Eb
But why hurry what will pass me so quickly?
Eb                    F
I should be longer to linger.

Bb                  Gm
Turn around slowly. Time is a racer.
    Dm                        Eb          F
The wink of an eye takes you from here to there.
Bb                      Gm
Turn around slowly, and treasure your days here.
Dm             Eb          F          Gm
These precious moments may come to be rare.

Ab                        Eb
Held in his arms my child turned back to me
Ab                    Eb
As if to say, "Listen well."
           Bb                     F
She said, "Look at me, Daddy, and love me this moment;
     Ab                    Eb     F
This moment is all that we have."

She said
Bb                  Gm

Turn around slowly, and treasure your days here.

These precious moments may come to be rare.
