Your love, liftin' me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it up, quench
my desire
And I'll be at your side forevermore
You know your love (your love keeps
liftin' me)
Keeps on liftin' (your love keeps liftin' me)
Higher (liftin' me, liftin' me),
higher, and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on
(liftin' me, liftin' me)
Liftin' me (liftin' me) higher and higher (higher)
Now once
I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came and he soon
departed
And you know he never showed his face again
That's why your love (your love
keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on liftin' (your love keeps liftin' me)
Higher (liftin' me,
liftin' me), higher, and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on (liftin' me, liftin' me)
Liftin' me (liftin' me) higher and higher (higher)
Awww
I'm so glad I finally found you
Yes, that one in a million girls
And I
wish my lovin' arms around ya
Honey, I can stand up and face the world
Let me tell
ya your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on liftin' (your love keeps liftin' me)
Higher (liftin' me, liftin' me), higher, and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps
liftin' me)
Keeps on (liftin' me, liftin' me)
Liftin' me (liftin' me) higher and higher
(higher)
