i jogged the other day for a tad
and had to stop for a break
don't have the stamina i once had
have more pains and aches
i found a park bench to sit a spell
near a tall pine tree
the air was fresh with a fragrant smell
the warmth enveloped me
[chorus]
i am slowing down, but that's a good thing
i feel the sun, i feel the breeze
i smell the roses and bask in the spring
i've had a good run, i am at ease
i appreciate how far i've come
like to feel my heart beat
like to rest my weary bones
and rub my tired feet
its like just after a swallow,
i can taste what i'm drinking.
sometimes i need to live in the now
and do a little less thinking
[repeat chorus]
[bridge]
i didn't realize what i was missing
until i slowed down a little,
it gets me reminiscing
about how life can be so brittle
