As with the other songs written or co-written by Will Jennings, this also has a spiritual meaning. I used to think this was about appreciating the simpler things in life, like laughter or being with the person you love. But now I think it's about enjoying material ("finer things") and spiritual ("the way my soul gets lost in you") possessions. He's kinda obsessed with extending the "fast" life (see also "Back in the High Life Again"). We know this song is about the dark side ("and lovers try til they get the best of the night..."). Even in the morning light, they're still thinking of (worshiping) the night. The "lovers" are the person and the devil dancing/mating together.
When I was a kid, I felt the meaning of the song to be inspirational and urging, but now I see it is not the case. It is cleary an eff-it-all, lets go out and experience pleasures while we can, whenever we can, however we can.
