Steve Winwood - Back In The High Life Again (Official Video)

Good Early-Mid Wednesday Afternoon my RP Brothers and Sisters!

I just came back from a luncheon engagement with a good friend of mine whom I have not see for a few years... It was great to get caught up as I am sure many of you know...

That aside, the skies are still partly cloudy here in the Greater Boston Area, but slightly heavier...and I am hoping the skies stay this way with no rain! For my Early-Mid Afternoon Music Interlude, I selected a song by Steve Winwood titled "Back In The High Life Again"

Lyrics:
It used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run it's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me back in that bright part of town

I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in

And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me and on I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

You used to be the best to make life be life to me
And I hope that you're still out there and you're like you used to be
We'll have ourselves a time
And we'll dance 'til the morning sun
And we'll…
