Carolina The Band - Stop and Smell the Roses Lyrics

You gotta stop and smell the roses
You gotta count your many blessings everyday
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

Hey Mister, where you goin' in such a hurry?
Don't you think it's time you realized
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

You gotta stop and smell the roses
You gotta count your many blessings everyday
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

Before you went to work this morning in the city
Did you spend some time with your family?
Did you kiss your wife and tell her that she's pretty?
Did you take your children to your breast and love them tenderly?

You gotta stop and smell the roses
You gotta count your many blessings everyday
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

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
And you can almost hear the voice of God
In each and every breeze

You gotta stop and smell the roses
You gotta count your many blessings everyday
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

You gotta stop and smell the roses
You gotta count your many blessings everyday
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
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
C'mon stop, smell the roses along the way"
