Stop and Smell The Roses

(Verse 1)

I was chasing dreams, running through the years,

Blinded by the future, deaf to what was near.

In my rush to grow, I let the moments fade,

Now I stand here wondering what price I’ve paid.

(Pre-Chorus)

All the little things, I left them far behind,

Simple joys forgotten, in the race of time.

The laughter of the breeze, the sparkle in the rain,

I didn’t see the beauty, lost beneath the strain.

(Chorus)

So stop and smell the roses, while they’re in full bloom,

Touch the grass beneath your feet, feel the quiet room.

Watch the stars at midnight, whisper to the sky,

You only live this life once, and time will pass you by.

(Verse 2)

I wanted to be someone, yet lost myself along the way,

In the endless hustle of tomorrow and today.

Now I long for moments that I let slip through,

For who I was before the world was all I knew.

(Pre-Chorus)

We think we’ll always have tomorrow, but the truth’s unkind,

Time keeps moving forward, leaving us behind.

So take a breath, slow it down, feel the morning sun,

Before the world you’re racing leaves you on the run.

(Chorus)

So stop and smell the roses, while you still have time,

Feel the earth beneath you, listen to life’s rhyme.

Watch the stars above you, let your spirit breathe,

You only live this life once—don’t let it slip with ease.

(Bridge)

Before you know it, you’ll look back and see,

The things you took for granted were all you really need.

So stop and smell the roses, don’t let life fly past,

Treasure every moment, before it’s gone too fast.

(Outro)

So stop and smell the roses, while they’re in full bloom,

Touch the grass beneath your feet, feel the quiet room.

Watch the stars at midnight, whisper to the sky,

You only live this life once, and time will pass you by.
