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
Ooh, this slow, slow tune

Gotta radiate the gold
Gotta radiate the gold
Gotta radiate the gold

True, daddy is singing just for you
Do you hear 'em baby anymore?
Now that you've outgrown this slow, slow tune

Gold, with a meter all your own
You decide the pace, you set the tone
Your future now your own
This slow, slow tune
Slow, slow tune
