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
