#1.
                                    
Hey Mister, where you going in such a hurry?
                                      
Don't you think it's time you real..ized?
                                            
There's a whole lot more to life than work and worry.
    
The sweetest things in life are free,
                             
and they're right before your eyes.

CHORUS:
                             
You got to stop, and smell the Roses.
                                              
You 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.

#2.
                                             
Before you went to work this morning in the city..
                                      
did you spent some time with your famil..y?
                                            
Did you kiss your wife and tell her that she's pretty?
        
Did you take your children to your breast and 
                 
love them tender..ly?

CHORUS:
                             
You got to stop, and smell the Roses.
                                              
You 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.

#3.(Key change.)
                                        
Did you ever take a walk through the forest?
                                    
Stop and dream a while among the trees?
             
Well, you can look up through the leaves right 
            
straight to Heaven..
                                     
You can almost hear the voice of God in each and 
      
every breeze.

CHORUS:
                              
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.

CHORUS:(Key change.)
                              
You got to stop, and smell the Roses.
                                           
You've got to count your many blessings every day.
                                         
You're gonna find your way to Heaven is a rough 
          
and rocky road..
                                              
if you don't stop and smell the Roses along the way.
