Davis, Mac - Stop And Smell The Roses Lyrics
Hey mister
Where you going 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
You got to stop and smell the roses
You've got to 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 spent 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 got to stop and smell the roses
You've got to 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
You can almost hear the voice of god
In each any every breeze
You got to stop and smell the roses
You've got to 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 got to stop and smell the roses
You've got to 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

Davis, Mac Stop And Smell The Roses Comments
Love this song. I understood the msg and the point when I heard it first (when it was released (check the date on the 45 that's featured in the video)) but I was 10 years old, so yeah lol......now that I'm MUCH older, I really appreciate the point he makes, and hope others that are younger than me, like my children, take a moment each day and consider how blessed they are, even when things aren't going "as planned".
I play this every morning to inspire me and it helps get through the day
Sure miss the slow pace simple life.
Start my days with this song every day. Had a patient who knew he only had a few years despite his valiant fight with a returning cancer. His wife saw me later smelling the flower arrangements in the lobby. She told me to always stop to smell the roses. So much, we take life for granted; but we should always take time to do something every day to appreciate the time we have.
More Ovation acoustic 12 string goodness.
A cigarette? How politically incorrect today!
this song went to #9 on the pop charts in 1974!!!
so true............ how many people do anymore though...............

that's good
I love you Mr. Mac Davis. Thank you for making childhood fun!
Amen....... 👏🏽👏🏽🌹🎵📻🎶
Yes !! 😊👏👏🥰🥰❤
I only came here to remember being a child in the 70s. yeah, this is what people really listened to on the radio during the day time. Classic rock only played late at night, because advertisers wouldn't sponsor it. They wanted to hear this, and the Carpenters, barry manilow, john denver, and captain and tennille (haha). If you want to time travel back to the 1970s, yeah
I'm sure there was plenty of CL that charted.
Last top 10 pop hit for Mac Davis?
@Muzikgirl67 He was country all along.
@MIKECNW Hmmm...that may be your opinion...the facts show that his first hits did much better on the pop charts...thank you..
@Muzikgirl67 That doesn't mean he wasn't considered a country artist and I'm sure he would have agreed.
@MIKECNW I'm not going to argue with you...you're entitled to your opinion...and I'm entitled to mine...All I was saying to the original comment was that this was indeed his final Top 10 pop hit, but he went on to have many more Top 10 hits on the country chart LATER!...Good-bye...I'm through with you...
@Muzikgirl67 shut up.
What memories this brings up! Such a great message, too. Thanks for sharing.
He had a Christmas show in 1976 with Raquel Welch.
wow, times have changed
@jimmy page yea! appreciate you listening
Unfortunately, yes..... no one is stopping to smell the roses anymore.... technology and so many other factors have prevented that.
@Karen Starks You had the same problems back then which was probably why the song was written.
With life being so crazy it is so true to Stop and Smell the roses!!!!
Great song Mac Davis
