Eric Clapton - It's in the Way That You Use It Lyrics Meaning

Like just about every song it can mean something different to every person that hears it, but if I had to make a educated guess I would say it has two meanings... 1.) It's about love. How it comes and it goes depending on the way that you use it; don't take it for granted and not take it when it comes because it could be the one and only time it ever does. 2.) I think its about money. It comes and goes but how fast is up to you and the way you use it. Make the most of it or piss it away, but you cant work forever, and if you have a special talent, put it to use! Don't waste it. Hence why it was in "The color of money."
