Stop And Smell The Roses

You gotta stop and smell the roses
You gotta count your many blessings every day
You gonna find the way to Heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way

Hey, mister, where you goin' in such a hurry?
Well, don't you think it's time you realize
There's a whole lot more to life than work and worry?
The sweetest things in life are free and right before your eyes

You gotta stop and smell the roses
You gotta count your many blessings every day
You gonna find the 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
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 hold them tenderly?

You gotta stop and smell the roses
You gotta count your many blessings every day
You gonna find the way to Heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way

Did you ever take a walk in the forest?
Stop and dream awhile in 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

You gotta stop and smell the roses
You gotta count your many blessings every day
You gonna find the way to Heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way

You gotta stop and smell the roses
You gotta count your many blessings every day
You gonna find the way to Heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way

You gotta stop and smell the roses
You gotta count your many blessings every day
You gonna find the way to Heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't stop and smell the roses along the way
