well i've been sailin' on a lazy day
movin' slow or so they might say
i've been takin' my time once again

now the difference between you and me
you're runnin' fast while i'm down on my knees
i'm beggin' you one more time
i'm beggin' you please go slow

and if i would have known
that you would not be here today
i think i would have taken time
to write down all those things
to you i would say

sailin' on a lazy day
movin' slow or so they might say
i've been takin' my time once again

it would've been somethin'
if you'd come down off your horse
it would've been somethin'
if you said to me of course
this life is much better
things they feel like a feather

and if i would have known
that you would not be here today
i think i would have taken time
to write down all those things
to you i would say

sailin' on a lazy day, movin' slow so they might
say, movin' slow so they might say
movin' slow so they might say
