Turn Around Slowly

Bb  Gm
Dm Eb F


[Verse 1]
  Bb                    Eb
I met a grandfather and all of his 
children
    F                     Bb
And as we were talking, a tear 
filled his eye.
   Bb                    Eb
He smiled at my child; I handed her 
to him
     F                   Bb
And just for a moment he went back 
in time.


[Verse 2]
      Bb                    Eb
He remembered the dreams of having a
 family,
   F                      Bb
Of holding the ones that God sent 
his way.
    Bb                          Eb
The joy they would bring him to make
 his heart larger.
     F                        Eb  
Then he looked in my eyes and 
   F
said:


[Chorus]
Bb                  Gm
Turn around slowly. Time is a racer.
    Dm                        Eb  
The wink of an eye takes you from 
        F
here to there.
Bb                      Gm
Turn around slowly, and treasure 
your days here.

[Verse 3]
      Bb                 Eb
In a flash, he discovered my foolish
 wishes.
  F                          Eb   
I wished she was walking and 
       F
talking and more.
    Bb                  Eb
But why hurry what will pass me so 
quickly?
Eb                    F
I should be longer to linger.


[Chorus]
Bb                  Gm
Turn around slowly. Time is a racer.
    Dm                        Eb  
The wink of an eye takes you from 
        F
here to there.
Bb                      Gm
Turn around slowly, and treasure 
your days here.
Dm             Eb          F    
These precious moments may come 
      Gm
to be rare.


[Bridge]
Ab                        Eb
Held in his arms my child turned 
back to me
Ab                    Eb
As if to say, "Listen well."
           Bb                     
She said, "Look at me, Daddy, and 
F
love me this moment;
     Ab                    Eb     F
This moment is all that we have."


[Chorus]
N.C.
She said
Bb                  Gm
Turn around slowly. Time is a racer.
    Dm                        Eb  
The wink of an eye takes you from 
        F
here to there.
Bb                      Gm
Turn around slowly, and treasure 
your days here.
