Sailin' away on the crest of a wave

It's like magic

Oh rollin' and ridin',slippin' & sliding

It's magic



CHORUS

And you, and your sweet desire,

You took me, ohhh higher and higher baby,

It's a livin' thing,

It's a terrible thing to lose

It's a given thing

What a terrible thing to lose.





Making believe this is what you've conceived

From your worst day, I'm takin a dive

Oh moving in line when you look back in time

To the first day, I'm taken I'm taken



And you and your sweet desire,

you took me ohh, higher and higher baby

It's a living thing,

It's a terrible thing to lose,

It's a given thing

What a terrible thing to lose



I'm takin a dive. Off the stage. Hey!!



Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide

Floating downstream, I'm takin a dive

Ah so let her go don't start spoiling the show

It's a bad dream, I'm takin' , I'm takin'



And you and your sweet desire

Don't you do it , 

You took me ohh higher and higher baby



It's a livin' thing,

It's a terrible thing to lose

It's a given thing

What a terrible thing to lose.(x2) 

I'm taking a dive,dive,dive,dive,dive off the 

slide,slide,slide,slide,slide oh yah,yah,yah,yah,yah off the slide,slide,slide.
