The Finer Things lyrics
by Steve Winwood



While there is time

Let's go out and feel everything

If you hold me

I will let you into my dream

For time is a river rolling into nowhere

We must live while we can

And we'll drink a cup of laughter



Chorus:

The finer things keep shining through

The way my soul gets lost in you

The finer things I feel in me

The golden dance life could be



Oh, I've been sad

And have walked bitter streets alone

And come morning

There's a good wind to blow me home

So time is a river rolling into nowhere

I will live while I can

I will have my ever after



(Chorus)



We go so fast, why don't we make it last

Life is glowing inside you and me

Please take my hand, here where I stand

Won't you come out and dance with me

Come see, with me, come see



And lovers try

'Til they get the best of night

And come morning

They are tangled up in the light

So time be a river rolling into nowhere

They love while they can

And they think about the night so sweet



(Chorus) 2x
