It's Great When We're Together
Finley Quaye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's great when we're together
Sun or rain
I know that I can't live without you
But you're just like the weather
When you change
And you refrain to speak to me
Sometimes I feel lighter than the air
When you shine
You brighten up my day
Sometimes I feel lighter than the air
When you shine
You brighten up my day
It's great when we're together
Whether or never
It's the same
And I know I am not new to you
Got to be clever
Don't fool around with me I'll treat you good
Sometimes I feel lighter than the air
When you shine
When you shine
You brighten up my day
Sometimes I feel lighter than the air
It's great when we're together
You brighten up my day
It's great when we're together
Sun or rain
I know that I can't live without you
But you're just like the weather
When you change
And you refrain to speak to me
