Steve Winwood
While You See A Chance
Steve Winwood While You See A Chance is a song performed in 1980, who he also wrote it alongside Will Jennings.
It was released on his album Arc of a Diver and peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also reached #68 on the Billboard Top 100 for the year 1981, however it only reached #45 in the UK.One of the song's most iconic features, its keyboard introduction, was not originally intended to be part of the song. The track was thrown together fairly quickly after Steve Winwood discovered that he had accidentally deleted his intended drum track introduction while preparing for vocals. He wrote a new introduction on the spot as a replacement. Many radio stations, when Steve Winwood While You See A Chance was released, played the version of the single used in the video, which cut the song's length from 5 minutes 13 seconds to 3 minutes 53 seconds. The edit occurs in the middle of the song, immediately following the lyric "Don't you wonder how you keep on moving? One more day, your way." One can distinguish the two versions at this point: in the full version, Winwood follows this line by repeating the words "Oh, your way", while in the short version, an instrumental passage follows immediately.
Steve Winwood While You See A Chance Lyrics
Stuck up in a clear blue morning,
What do you see, what could be?
Alone in a cold day dawning,
Are you still free, can you be?
When some cold tomorrow finds you,
When some sorrow days remind you,
How the endless road unwinds you,
While you see a chance, take it,
When you find romance, make it,
Because it`s all, on you.
Don`t you know by now,
No-one give you anything,
And don`t you wonder how you keep on moving?
One more day, your way.
Whoa your way.
When there`s no-one left to lead you,
Even you don`t quite believe you,
That`s when nothing can deceive you,
While you see a chance, take it,
When you find romance, make it,
Because it`s all, on you.
Stuck up in a clear blue morning,
What do you see, what could be?
Alone in a cold day dawning,
Are you still free, can you be?
When that old gray wind is blowing,
And there`s nothing left worth knowing,
And it`s not where you should be going,
While you see a chance, take it,When you find romance, make it,
Because it`s all, on you.
While you see a chance, take it,
When you find romance
While you see a chance, take it,
When you find romance
While you see a chance, take it,
When you find romance
While you see a chance, take it,
When you find romance
While you see a chance, take it,
When you find romance
