I was once so downhearted

Disappointment was my closest friend

But then you came and he soon departed

And now I've never seen his face again



Your love is lifting me higher

Than I've ever been lifted before

So keep it up, quench my desire

And I'll be at your side forever more



You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Keeps on lifting (your love keeps lifting me)

Higher (lifting me, lifting me), higher, and higher (higher)

I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Keeps on (lifting me, lifting me)

Lifting me (lifting me) higher and higher (higher)



Now once I was downhearted

Disappointment was my closest friend

But then you came and he soon departed

And now he's never shown his face again



Because your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Keeps on lifting (your love keeps lifting me)

Higher (lifting me, lifting me), higher, and higher (higher)

I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Keeps on (lifting me, lifting me)

Lifting me (lifting me) higher and higher (higher)



I'm so glad that I finally found you

Yes, that one in a million girls

And I wish my loving arms around ya

I can stand up and face the world



I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Keeps on lifting (your love keeps lifting me)

Higher (lifting me, lifting me), higher, and higher (higher)

I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Keeps on (lifting me, lifting me)

Lifting me (lifting me) higher and higher (higher)
