Moving fast can only bring you heartache,
It tires and jumbles up a person's mind.
Trying to keep up can bring resentment,
It's a slow and lazy love you have to find.
Walking through the downtown in the evening,
Watching for the moon to start its shine.
Having Sunday dinner with the old folks.
A slow love is the best that you can find.
Going to the picnics with the family,
Taking in a Friday picture show.
Holding her because you love her only,
It's true that love like this is best when slow.
Sitting on the front porch while she's sewing.
Watching how the leaves fall from the trees.
Taking her to Grandma's for Thanksgiving,
A slow love is the way that you can please.
And when the moon is setting on the prairie,
You take that love you found into your bed.
You make love just the way you show it to her
