Slow Down, Relax, Move On

I've had a good life It's time to move on The curtains coming down Remarked the old man Who sat next to me In the park, in the center of town So much life have I seen In my share of ups Along with my share of downs I hear deaths whistle blowing His trains a coming And there ain't no slowing it down We talked of the past The traps of our youth All that we had done The last words before he left That he passed on to me Slow down, Relax, Move on So I took his advice And slowed down in life Relaxed when things went wrong Now I look at this life Through different eyes As life keeps moving on
