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)
