I'll write myself a simple song

Get the whole world to sing along

I'll call it a love song for you



And who knows

I'm liable to take a song from the bible

And then when I'm thro'

I'll just sing:



Love lifted me, love lifted me

When nothing else would do

You know, love lifted me



Everybody's lookin' for a way

To say something

Nobody said but that's hard to do



They're searchin' their mind

Tryin' to find the one of a kind way

That they could say something new

I just say:



Love lifted me, love lifted me

When I was down and out

You know, love lifted me

Love lifted me,
