LIFT ME UP

Howard Jones



I've got your picture in the palm of my hand

And I'm squeezin' it I'm teasin' it

I'd follow you to the edge of this land

But I'm losin' it, confusin' it



This is a man who has lost control

Lost the road to a higher soul

Stop me from fallin' you know I need you



To lift me up

Won't you lift me up yeah

Won't you take me to a place that I once knew

And when you can see

You've always been there for me

I'm waiting for your love



There'll be a time when all our rhythms of love

Are shakin' it we're makin' it

There'll be a place where life is livin' to give

This harmony it will come to me



And when I think of those who love you now

If I had my chances again somehow

Stop me from fallin' you know I need you

To lift me up

Won't you lift me up yeah

Won't you take me to a place that I once knew

And when you can see

Another side of me

I'm waiting for you



I'm not eating I'm not sleeping this tension this worry

You don't call you don't write me

I need your love in a hurry

Teach me, Reach me, Meet me, Beat me,

Tease me, Please me,

Come and seize me



This is a man who has lost control

Lost the road to a higher soul

Catch me from fallin' you know I need you



To lift me up

Won't you lift me up yeah

Won't you take me to a place that I once knew

And when you can see

You've always been there for me

I'm waiting for your love

And when you can see

The changes I've made in me

Well I'm waitin' for, you know I'm waitin' for your love
