Artist: Steve Winwood Album: Roll With It {1988}

When life is too much, roll with it, baby
Don't stop and lose your touch, oh no, baby
Hard times knocking on your door
I'll tell them you ain't there no more
Get on through it, roll with it, baby
Luck'll come and then slip away
You've gotta move, bring it back to stay

You just roll with it, baby
Come on and just roll with it, baby
You and me, roll with it, baby
Hang on and just roll with it, baby, hey

The way that you love is good as money
I swear by stars above, sweet as honey
People think you're down and out
You show them what it's all about
You can make it, roll with it, baby
When this world turns its back on you
Hang in and do that sweet thing you do

You just roll with it, baby
Yeah, yeah, you just roll with it, baby
Come on and just roll with it, baby
You and me, just roll with it, baby

Roll with it, baby
Yeah, yeah, you just roll with it, baby
You and me, just roll with it, baby
Come on and just roll with it, baby, hey

Now there'll be a day you'll get there, baby
You'll hear the music play, you'll dance, baby
You'll leave bad times way behind
Nothing but good times on your mind
You can do it, roll with it, baby
Then you'll see life will be so nice
It's just a step up to paradise

You just roll with it, baby
Yeah, yeah, you just roll with it, baby
You and me, just roll with it, baby
Come on and just roll with it, baby, hey

Come on roll with me, baby
Hang on baby
Come on roll with me, baby, whoa
Hey, come on and roll
Oh, roll with with me, baby
Come and roll
Hang on and just roll
Hey, you roll

Used to live in the danger zone, any day it could get too rough
Now I'm glad I kept holding on, now I'm glad I had soul enough
You turned night into day and showed me how my soul could sing
You took my hurt away and showed love conquers anything
When two hearts both feel the same there's a way to beat the game

Holding on - now I'm standing in the light
Holding on - and this time I've got it right
Holding on - every day and every night
Holding on, holding on

Fall asleep in your lover's arms and it's just like it ought to be
Just be thankful she keeps you warm in a world where there's nothing free
Give her love every day and pay attention when she dreams
And she'll be good to you cos sometimes love is just what it seems
When two hearts both feel the same there's a way to beat the game

Holding on - now I'm standing in the light
Holding on - and this time I've got it right
Holding on - every day and every night
Holding on, holding on

See the mountain water running down into streams
How it holds on forever
We'll be holding on forever, forever

People soul-searching all night long for a reason to help them live
And I do hope they hear this song, get take and you get to give
It can be in a smile, it can be there in a touch
It warms the world awhile, when it's love it can't be too much
When two hearts both feel the same there's a way to beat the game

Holding on - now I'm standing in the light
Holding on - and this time I've got it right
Holding on - every day and every night
Holding on, holding on

Holding on, holding on - now I'm standing in the light
Holding on, holding on - and this time I've got it right
Holding on - every day, every night
Holding on, holding on

Every day and every night, every night, every night, baby
Every night, baby, whoa yeah
Holding on - yes I'm standing, standing in the light
Holding on

You meet every kind of person moving towards the morning side
You see the good and the bad, the eyes are sad
You play every midnight gambler before you see the light
On the morning side, the morning side

You feel every heat and passion moving towards the morning side
To earn one more second chance you learn the dance
Woah, when you finally climb the mountain you see the other side
It's the morning side, the morning side

Now my life has changed and now my eyes can see
Now I'm living on the morning side
Now I'm letting all the sunlight into me, now I'm free

And I know I'll never pass that way again
That dark journey to the morning side
On the morning side I feel my life begin, let's begin

Whoa, on the morning side
On the morning side, on the morning side
Whoa, on the morning side

So much going on out there, leaves us hanging in the air
And it's all that we can do to face each day and see it though
Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

You can't shut your eyes to pain, faces crying in the rain
You can't keep it all inside, you need some way to let it ride
Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance - chance

When you're all over, when you know you've done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through

Voices shouting in the street, life lived to a ragged beat
Someone's world is tumbling down, who's the saint and who's the clown
Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance - chance

Whoa, when you're all over, when you know you've done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through, whoa
When time is flying, when you know there's no end to these modern blues
Put on your dancing shoes, yeah, it'll see you through, whoa

Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance - chance
Yeah, when you're all over, when you know you've done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through, whoa
When time is flying, when you know there's no end to these modern blues
Put on your dancing shoes, whoa, it'll see you through, yeah

Hey, hey - keep on dancin', keep on dancin'
Keep on dancin', keep on dancin'
Keep on dancin', keep on dancin'
Keep on dancin', keep on dancin'
Keep on dancin', keep on dancin'
Keep on, keep on

Hear the night music playing
Don't you know what it's saying
We should feel it together forever 
Feel the beat and just hold on
To the sweet midnight flowing 
Feel the music inside you, I'll be there too 

Now's the time that our dreams are finally coming true 
Feels so good we're crying 
Now's the time when it's down to me and you 
Spread these wings, we'll be flying 

Don't you know what the night can do
Don't you know when it's touching you
Don't you know what the night can do

Time to show all your feeling
All the night is revealing 
Let the rhythm enfold you, let me hold you 
Now we turn into music
Now we never will lose it 
When the rhythm and night ride, no heart can hide

There are times that never, ever come again
Memories there for making 
When the night comes we better let it in
All this love for the taking 

Don't you know what the night can do
Don't you know when it's touching you
Won't you help me to let it through
Don't you know what the night can do

Don't you know what the night can do, know what the night can do
Don't you know what the night can do
Don't you know what the night can do, know what the night can do
Don't you know what the night can do

There are times that never, ever come again
Memories there for making 
When the night comes we better let it in
All this love for the taking

Don't you know what the night can do
Don't you know when it's touching you
Won't you help me to let it through
Don't you know what the night can do, whoa, whoa

Don't you know what the night can do, know what the night can do
Don't you know what the night can do
Don't you know what the night can do, know what the night can do
Don't you know what the night can do
Don't you know what the night can do, know what the night can do
Don't you know what the night can do
Don't you know what the night can do
Don't you know what the night can do, know what the night can do
Don't you know what the night can do
Don't you know, don't you know

Don't you know what the night can do
Don't you know what the night can do

Night was falling and my chances were low
Nothing was happening, I was ready to go
Then I saw her walking through that door
And I knew right then I had to get me some more

Well I moved up close, stood next to the bar
There she sat, lookin' like a movie star
Went up and asked her, "Do you mind if I sit?"
She said, "No, but while you see a chance, you'd better take it."

Just the two of us, we sat talking together
The music and people all drifting away

Hearts on fire, burning with love
We were written in the stars above
Take us higher to the things that we know
That's the only place to go

Told her everything that happened to me
A thousand limousines and the women for free
She said, "That's when these words'll ring true
You ain't nobody till somebody loves you."

Love came to me the minute I saw her
I wanted to make her part of my life

Hearts on fire, burning with love
We were written in the stars above
Take us higher to the things that we know
That's the only place to go

Hearts on fire, burning with love - hearts on fire
We were written in the stars above
Take us higher to the things that we know
That's the only place to go
Whoa, hearts on fire

Just the two of us sat talking together
I wanted to make her part of my life

Hearts on fire, burning with love - hearts on fire
We were written in the stars above
Take us higher to the things that we know
That's the only place to go

Hearts on fire, burning with love - hearts on fire
We were written in the stars above
Take us higher to the things that we know
That's the only place to go, place to go

Hearts on fire, hearts on fire, fire, fire
Hearts on fire, fire, fire, hearts on fire
Fire, fire, hearts on fire, fire
Fire, fire, hearts on fire, fire
Hearts on fire, fire

In the sky, light is coming
So glad we all have this day
We all want one more morning
Just to know the night won't stay
Lift my eyes to the dawning
To see life start again
Just to see one more morning
Just to feel it all begin

Just to have this day and life starting all over
For all it may bring
A blessing on everything
And one more song I can sing

One more day, one more memory
One more link in the chain
We all want one more morning
Just to feel it all again

Just to have this day and life starting all over
For all it may bring
A blessing on everything
And one more, one more song I can sing

In the arms we were born in
In the arms that will take us home
We all want one more morning
Then we'll take the night to come
Then we'll take the night to come

Baby's eyes, feel them looking at me
Realize what I would have her see
Realize how dark this world can be
That's why I better keep shining, shining
Keep shining right down the line

Love's a light, it keeps leading us on
When it's right, it'll shine untill we're gone
Keep it bright out there in the unknown
That's why I better keep shining, shining
Keep shining right down the line

Here's my shining song, I hope you can see it
Here's my shining song from the heart
Here's my shining song and I know you need it
If we keep shining on, oh, we'll never shine alone

Love the night cos that's when I hold you
Feel the might of all the things we do
Oh, the sight when we're both coming through
I love you cos you keep shining, shining
Keep shining right down the line

Here's my shining song, I hope you can see it
Here's my shining song from the heart
Here's my shining song and I know you need it
If we keep shining on, oh, we'll never shine alone

So shine - just show the world how bright the world can be
Let it shine so every heart can see

Shining star lead us on through our lives
You're so far but your light still arrives
Shining star, shine for all who still cry
It helps to know you're still shining, shining
You're shining right down the line

Here's my shining song, I hope you can see it
Here's my shining song right from the heart
Here's my shining song and I know you need it
If we keep shining on, oh, we'll never shine alone

Let it shine
Let it shine, now, hang on

Here's my shining song, I hope you can see it
Here's my shining song from the heart
Here's my shining song and I know you need it
If we keep shining on, oh, we'll never shine alone

Shining song
Whoa, shining song
Yeah, yeah, it's my shining song - from the heart
Whoa, here's my shining song
Shining, shining, shining song - hope you see it, lord, come on
Here's my shining song, shine on
