Hey Mister, where you going in such a hurry

Don't you think it's time you realized

There's a whole lot more to life than work and worry

All the sweetest things in life are free

And they're right before your eyes You've got to stop and smell the roses

You've got to count your many blessings everyday

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 Before you went to work this morning in the city

Well, did you spent 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 'em tenderly You've got to stop and smell the roses

You've got to count your many blessings everyday

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 Well, did you ever take a walk through the forest

Stop and dream a while among the trees

Well, you can look up through the leaves right straight to heaven

And you can almost hear the voice of God in each any every breeze Well, you've got to stop and smell the roses

You've got to count your many blessings everyday

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 Oh, you've got to stop and smell the roses

You've got to count your many blessings everyday

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 Said, you've got to stop and smell the roses
