David Kauffman Turn Around Slowly Lyrics

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

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

CHORUS:
Turn around slowly, time is a racer
The wink of an eye takes you from here to
there
Turn around slowly and treasure your days here
These precious moments may come to an end

In a flash he discovered my foolish wishes
I wish she was walking and talking and more
But why hurry what will pass me so quickly
I should be longing to linger

(CHORUS)

And held in his arms my child turned back to
me
As if to say listen well
She said look at me Daddy and love me this
moment
This moment is all that we have....she said

(CHORUS)
