Lyrics
(Intro)
(Verse 1)
Once upon a time, in a city’s hurried rhyme,
She toiled, her spirit worn and frayed.
Deadlines gnawed her days, meetings set ablaze,
Yet her heart yearned for a softer serenade.
(Chorus)
You know you ought to slow down,
You’ve been working too hard,
And that’s a fact.
Sit back and relax a while,
Take some time to laugh and smile,
Lay your heavy load down.
(Verse 2)
Autumn’s golden hues, a quiet street she’d choose,
Where “The Timekeeper’s Nook” whispered its plea.
A wizened man appeared, eyes twinkling, sincere,
He said, “Oh Baby dear, lets lock-up time’s mystery.”
(Chorus)
So we can stop and kick back,
In this heaven of forgotten dreams,
Where pages breathe and memories gleam.
It seems we never take the time to do
All the things we want to do, (yeah)
(Musical Interlude, Clocks ticking softly, piano melody)
(Verse 3)
She traced titles old, secrets yet untold,
“Moments Unclaimed” and “The Art of Stillness” aligned.
A leather-bound refuge, promises of soul-solitude,
“You know you ought to slow down,” the book opined.
(Musical Interlude, Violin strings)
Where “The Timekeeper’s Nook” whispered its plea.
(Reprise)
Sit back and relax a while,
Take some time to laugh and smile,
Lay your heavy load down.
Outside, the city buzzes, but within these walls,
Time dances differently, as magic calls.
(Musical Interlude, Violin strings)
(Verse 4)
She wandered through sun-dappled wonder,
He embraced her, laughter echoed free.
“We can stop and kick back,” whispered leaves,
As deadlines faded, and her heart found glee.
(Pre-Chorus)
Now, Baby, we can do it,
Take the time,
Do it right,
We can do it, baby,
Do it tonight.
(Outro)
The love I feel for you,
You feel for me,
One life is all we have to live,
Our love is all we have to give, yeah (yeah)
Mmmm mm-mm
Mmmm mm-mm
Sit Back and Relax (And Do it Right)
Mmmm mm-mm
