《從前慢》是木心先生創作的壹首詩歌，被收錄在《雲雀叫了壹整天》裏。2011年底，木心先生去世。《從前慢》開始被人傳頌，從貼吧、微博到微信朋友圈，這首詩被當成了情詩，廣為流傳。
歌詞如下：
記得早先少年時
Remember the old days
大家誠誠懇懇
when everyone was sincere
說壹句 是壹句
one's word is one's bond
清早上火車站
The dawn of the train station
長街黑暗無行人
the dark street with no sign of pedestrian
賣豆漿的小店冒著熱氣
and the steam from the soy-milk stall
從前的日色變得慢
The nightfalls used to come late in the past
車，馬，郵件都慢
Everything was slow, the bike, the horse, and the post
壹生只夠愛壹個人
a lifetime was all but enough to be in love with one
從前的鎖也好看
The old-school lock was beautiful
鑰匙精美有樣子
and the key exquisite looking
妳鎖了 人家就懂了
once locked, the others understood
