Stop and Smell the Roses

You got to stop
And smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings every day
You're 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 going in such a hurry?
Don't you think it's time you realised
There's a whole lot more to life than work and worry
Sweetest things in life are free
And right before your eyes

You got to stop
And smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings every day
You're 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 spent some time with the 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 got to stop
And smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings every day
You're 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 a while 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 any every breeze

You got to stop
And smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings every day
You're 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 got to stop
And smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings every day
You're 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 got to stop
And smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings every day
