Slow, not the meter of today
But I'm not singing for night anyway
This slow, slow tune

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

Slow, Daddy's playing just for you
The tempo's right, I'm in a mellow mood
Oh, this slow, slow tune

Gotta radiate the gold
Gotta radiate the gold
Gotta radiate the gold, ooh

True, Daddy is 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
The future now you own
This slow, slow tune
Slow, slow tune
