Steve Winwood's The Finer Things

A great 80's song.

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 our cup of laughter

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

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

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 the 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

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

The opening to this song is completely badass.

I want this song to be played at my funeral. I think of laying in my casket while the beginning notes play.

[SoulRythm]

damn i miss the 80's. music like this just doesn't exsist anymore.

[amers83]

@NK7Prime agreed.there's something about that beginning=)soul stirring.

@amers83 That era of pop music is mostly gone. The way they used synth to not just make pretty good music but some of the songs had a very haunting mood set. It wasn't just Winwood, Peter Gabriel uses this to great effect and even some RnB songs into the mid-90s had it.

Pop Songs from the Elvis era to the time the Berlin wall fell down are the best in history.
