Lyrics

[Verse 1]
While there is time
Let's go out and feel everything
If you hold me
I will let you into my dreams
[Verse 2]
For time is a river
Rolling into nowhere
We must live while we can
And we drink our cup of laughter
[Verse 3]
The finer things keep shinin' through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
[Verse 4]
I've been sad
And I've walked bitter streets alone
Come morning
There's a good wind to blow me home
[Verse 5]
So time be the river
Rolling into nowhere
I will live while I can
I will have my ever after
[Verse 6]
The finer things keep shinin' through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
(Finer things I feel in me)
The golden dance life could be
(Golden dance life could be)
[Verse 7]
Whoa
Keep shinin'
Life would be better, life could be
[Verse 8]
We go so fast
Why don't we make it last?
Life is glowing inside you and me
Please, take my hand
Right here where I stand
Won't you come out and dance with me?
[Verse 9]
Come see
With me
Whoa, come see
[Verse 10]
And the lovers try
Till they get the best of the night
Come morning
They are tangled up in the light
[Verse 11]
So time is a river
Rolling into nowhere
And they love while they can
And they think about the night so sweet
[Verse 12]
The finer things keep shinin' through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
[Verse 13]
The finer things keep shinin' through
(Whoa)
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
(Oh, my soul, keep shinin')
The golden dance life could be
(Keep shinin')
[Verse 14]
The finer things keep shinin' through
(Whoa, keep shinin')
The way my soul gets lost in you
(Keep shinin')
[Verse 15]
The finer things I feel in me
(I feel, I feel in me)
The golden dance life could be
(Golden dance life could be)
[Verse 16]
Keep shinin', keep shinin'
Uh, the finer things keep shinin' through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
[Verse 17]
Dancin', dancin', dancin', whoa
Dancin', dancin', dancin'
Life could be
