Slow, not the meter of today But I'm not singing for now anyway This slow, slow tune You, somewhere in the future listening I hope the present for you's glistening With notes that ring so true this slow, slow tune Slow, slow tune Slow, daddy's playing just for you The tempo's right, I'm in a mellow moon Whoa, this slow, slow tune Gotta radiate the gold Gotta radiate the gold Gotta radiate the gold Ooh, ooh, ooh True, daddy's singing just for you But do you hear him, baby, anymore? Now that you've outgrown This slow, slow tune Grown with a meter all your own You decide the pace, you set the tone Your future now you own, this slow, slow tune Slow, slow tune
