Winwood, Steve - Don't You Know What The Night Can Do? Lyrics






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
And 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?

    no guitar whatsoever sep for the bass. afuckinmazing

  23. T.... A....

    There is such a soothing & healing sensuality to this song that it fills my soul with a mellow, meditative type of rapture, this variety of rapture that is both dreamy & luxuriously hypnotic, beautifully calming & magically resonant, lifting my spirits via all the serene contemplation & sublime sense of tranquility that this tune evokes, that it brings about, in ways that are as primal & sensual as they are mystically enchanting & otherworldly, all that loving reflection & pure, soulful longing, of this type that comes from someplace very deep & immeasurable.

    I now feel marvelously transmogrified, at peace with myself & cozily enthralled with it all, with what the night can bring on, with what it can do, its amazingly transformative & transcendent powers, mysterious & intriguing as they are, all that nocturnal magic that swirls about, & which soothes my soul, stirs the imagination & purifies my heart, gracefully, smoothly, blissfully, & with this divine sense of nostalgic awe, of blossoming sensuality, of both spiritual & primeval yearning, & of clear, heartfelt wonder, with this sweet reverie that goes on forever👍👍😇😇❤❤❤

    Jeff Wayne

  25. G.... S....

    Brings back memories of being a kid at summer camp, Camp Stella Maris in NY. I miss those days, great times and great meaningful music. Everything from those days seems like a dream now, now that I’m in my 40’s. Life is way too short. Enjoy it while you can.

    I believe steve winwood got a lot of soul in him

  40. u.... l....

    Steve is alive in his music  ...there are times that never ever come again memories there for making---live your life everyday be alive

  41. E.... M....

    This song makes me want to call in sick and drink micohlob and drive to Vegas at night.

  42. S.... W....

    I know!

  43. N.... J....

    This song came out when I was 14, when I first heard it the for a few times on the radio,I thought it said "don't you know what the naked do"

  44. R.... E....

    yeah,,i do

  45. L.... W....

    There are many independent recording artists out there that were influenced by artists like Steve Winwood that are out there performing every night. Just gotta get out there and experience it. Real music isn't a thing of the past. It lives on through younger musicians and artists..

  46. L.... G....

    Where are YOU? WHY YOU NO WRITE ME???? O CALL ME?

  47. I.... S....

    80’s Underrated Classic. They don’t make music like this anymore. Still Amazing 😉

  48. M.... C....

    This was such a great time for music. Am I old yet? :)

  49. c.... d....

    One of the most underrated songs of the 80's. The keyboards with that soulful voice is magical...vintage Winwood/vintage 80's/vintage soul

  50. B.... ....

    If I ever own a dance club, I will host an 80’s night every Friday or Saturday for the big crowd and will make sure this is always in the mix of last songs. Like Marty McFly said (I’m paraphrasing here) - “If the music doesn’t play, they don’t dance and if they don’t dance, they don’t fall in love and I’m history!”

    The current generation believe it or not yearns for music like this. They want to go somewhere to dance and enjoy the same kind of stuff we did growing up - music you can actually identify with and connect with. They aren’t making it though, so they too have been coming back to this era of greatness.

    Winwood and others who rose to stardom in that era were so much better since they really put the polish on their product and cared about the emotion it invoked. Amazing music!!

  51. P.... M....

    I adore this song 😍

  52. E.... H....

    This song was used in a early 1980's Michelob commercial. I first heard it when I returned from a tour of duty from Bobelingen Germany.

  53. k.... v....

    I l have enjoyed & am yet amazed by this album ,with all of the "Winwood signature songs" on it.. I remember driving Queen's highway , Ontario Canada at 0100 hours about 35 years ago.. It kept me focused on driving for that "ON the ROAD again " spirits ..!!

  54. r.... k....

    I meant to say.....sexy song!! Handsome man!

  55. r.... k....

    Sexy song? Handsome man!

  56. j.... s....

    4yrs older then you.lol Steve Winwood is amazing,How can a person truly put him in a category I don't understand? I think his music works on the soul.

  57. J.... B....

    Love this song and love Steve Winwood. Ever since I heard Higher Love I've been a fan of his.

  58. G.... B....

    Colossal !

  59. G.... W....

    Been a fan of his since 1967s I'm A Man. I was 9 then. Now l'm 60....still a fan!

  60. D.... ....

    Just a remarkable musician and songwriter

  61. H.... V....

    This Man right here is amazing words cant discribe. WINWOOD for real. JAH definitely has blessed you.

  62. J.... W....

    Back in the very late 80's my son asked me to go to a Stevie Winwood concert. I loved him in all the groups he was in but wasn't sure I wanted to see him solo. Glad I went. One of the best concerts ever.

  63. p.... ....

    2018???

  64. E.... M....

    I've always liked this song

  65. c.... ....

    thumbs down are day people

  66. R.... ....

    To all my fellow synth fans out there… do any of you know which synth Steve uses here for the main comp'd sound? My 1st guess would be the Yamaha CS-80. Part of me thought it might be a Prophet 5 (I know Steve used that a lot too)… but the P5's keyboard isn't even velocity sensitive and Steve's parts here are dynamic in level and cutoff freq of the filter in response to his playing… so perhaps a Prophet T8 ???

  67. j.... ....

    Thanks Steve for all you have done for me over the years.

  68. A.... K....

    Remember when it first came out, I was about 8 or 9. But I knew I liked it.

  69. F.... M....

    Makes me want to get in my truck and just go driving anywhere..no particular place in mind on a hot steamy summer night with my woman by my side.

  70. M.... M....

    Me encanta esta cancion

  71. p.... ....

    I wish I could go back to 1988.

    p.... ....

    You're not alone!

  72. G.... T....

    One of my favorite songs of ALL time! Steve Winwood, thank you soooo much for your talent and musical gift. Peace!

  73. s.... s....

    All I know is there were like less than half as many people on this earth when this song came out.

  74. I.... S....

    Still a classic, still Amazing 😉

  75. o.... ....

    Always loved this song!

  76. A.... H....

    Thank you, Steve.

  77. 1.... ....

    I wish I shared his talent and not just his birthday.

  78. T.... A....

    His voice is amazing...so soulful. A 60's infomercial brought me here...obsessed!

  79. E.... R....

    I like the music

  80. P.... T....

    H e is the Man of nice voice ,the song make my day going well

  81. c.... y....

    Doesn't get much better than this...the vocals and the music marry well!

  82. K.... D....

    I know what the night can do make you fall asleep 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

  83. R.... G....

    Steve Winwood is the hottest man alive... I would marry him RIGHTNOW.

    And I'm not even joking

  84. m.... ....

    "Feels so good that we're crying." I'm old, but I have great memories.

    m.... ....

    Such a powerful line. To experience a moment like that with someone is really special.

    m.... ....

    If 73 is your birthdate you're not that old, still plenty of time to be happy and youthful I live in the eighties and nineties every day it helps me stay young!

  85. C.... A....

    Sterling track!!

  86. J.... H....

    I remember this song. The lyrics are beautiful. I mean, with those words, it could set off the mood for a lot of couples who are at that “stage” in the relationship. Secondly, the excellent percussion sounds complete it! Steve Winwood, you didn’t play around when it came to putting out some good music!!!!!

  87. M.... W....

    Some people are born with music in them. Some are born with music never heard before that must come out. Being a human being is cool. Being alive when the music came out and heard for the first time was a gift.

  88. z.... ....

    So much love ❤️.

  89. D.... I....

    Love this song ❤❤❤

  90. 5.... ....

    Randall: what do you mean about "he was " ? He's still active , look at his website and the 2017 tour dates if you want to refresh your memory .......
    BTW there was so much crap in the 80ies , its refreshing to find pieces which still stand tall and strong !
    I follow this guy since the mid-sixties and was not convinced when he started flirting with the disco-bla-bla, but ...now years later I ca see he did even than a great job !

    5.... ....

    Yes there was crap in the eighties but when you compare that era to today nearly everything was great. Eighties was the decade that brought us amazing bands like Toto, Mr Mister, the Cars, Duran Duran, etc..nowadays there are no bands around like that any more. Music died in 2012.

  91. M.... L....

    I remember Steve Winwood from times with my aunt and uncle at their house for the summer spending time in the late 80's with my cousin's and they always had his tapes in their van and when we would go out we would pop his tapes in and sing. Great memories!!!

    M.... L....

    I bet they were! I was just a baby in this decade, I grew up in the nineties but I sure miss this type of song, and I miss the long hot days of times gone by.

  92. j.... c....

    I saw Winwood on an AXS concert on TV. He is also  a tremendous guitar player. He's something else..

    j.... c....

    james cawley his older brother said he was annoying as Hell as a kid, because he'd ask to borrow your instrument and return it a week later, playing it better than you ever could.

  93. s.... H....

    I love Steve winwoods music.

  94. a.... n....

    Don't You Know What The Night Can Do? And Holding On Are My Favorite Songs By Steve Winwood. He Is A Musical Genius And Great Musician. I Love His Great Music And Wonderful Albums. God Bless Steve Winwood Every Day For The Rest Of His Life.

    a.... n....

    Yeah, me too. After this came out I was in Vegas and the band in the casino played Holding On like lights out. I was jacked. Even went up to them and thanked them.
