Hey Mr. Where you going in such a hurry? Don't you think it's time you realize?
There's a whole lot more to life than work and worry
Lord, the sweetest things in life are free And they're right before your eyes
But you've got to stop and smell the roses You've got to count your many blessings every day
You're gonna find your way to heaven Is a rough and rocky road
If you don't stop and smell the roses
Lord, you're gonna find your way to heaven
On the way
Before you went to work this morning in the city
Or did you spend some time with your family?
Did you kiss your wife and tell her that she's pretty?
Did you take your children to your breast And love them tenderly?
You've got to stop
And smell the roses
You've got to stop and smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings every day
You're gonna find your way to heaven Is a rough and rocky road
If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way
Or did you ever take a walk through the forest?
You've got to stop and dream of wild among the trees
You can look up through the leaves right straight to heaven
And you can almost hear the voice of God in each and every breeze
But you've got to stop and smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings every day
You're gonna find your way to heaven
Is a rough and rocky road
If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way
You've got to stop
And smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings every day
You're gonna find your way to heaven
On the way to heaven
Is a rough and rocky road
If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way
You've got to stop
And smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings every day
