Your love lifted me higher

And I'll be at your side forever more

You know your love (your love keeps liftin' me)

Keeps on liftin' (love keeps liftin' me)
Em/D
Higher (liftin' me)

Higher and higher

I said your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeeep on... (love keeps liftin' me)
Liftin' me (liftin' me)
Higher and higher
(higher and higher higher) Listen!

Verse 2:

Now once, I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But you came and he soon departed
And he never showed his face again

That's why your love
Keeps on liftin'
Higher
Higher and higher

I said your love
Keeeeps on
Liftin'
Higher and higher (all right)

I'm so glad I finally found you
Yes, that one in a million girls
And now with my lovin' arms around you, honey
I can stand up and face the world

Chorus 3:

Let me tell you your love
Keeps on liftin'
Higher
Higher and higher

I-i said your love
Keeeep on
Liftin' me
Higher and higher

Chorus 4:

Oh, now sock it to me
All right, lift me, oh, woman
Keep my life goin' now
Higher and higher

I said, keep on liftin'
Lift me up, mama
Keep on liftin' me
Higher and higher [fade]
