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