Higher & Higher
Tom Jones · Other Songs - Tom Jones
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)
Keep on liftin' me
(Love keeps liftin' me)
Higher (liftin' me higher and higher)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said, your love
(Your love keeps liftin' me)
Keep on (love keeps liftin' me)
Liftin' me (liftin' me higher and higher)
Higher and higher (higher)
Listen, 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)
Keep on liftin' me
(Love keeps liftin' me)
Higher (liftin' me higher and higher)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said, your love
(Your love keeps liftin' me)
Keep on (love keeps liftin' me)
Liftin' me (liftin' me higher and higher)
Higher and higher (higher)
Aww-right
I'm so glad I finally found you
Yes, that one-in-a-million girl
And a-with my lovin' arms around ya
Honey, I can stand up and face the world
Let me tell ya, your a-love
(Your love keeps liftin' me)
Keep on liftin' me
(Love keeps liftin' me)
Higher (liftin' me higher and higher)
Higher and higher (higher)
And I said your love
(Liftin', liftin', liftin' me)
Keep on (love keeps liftin' me)
Liftin' me (liftin' me higher and higher)
Higher and higher (higher)
Aww-right, now, sock it to me
(Liftin', liftin', liftin' me)
Aww-right, definitely of a woman
(Love keeps liftin' me)
Keep my love goin' now
(Liftin' me higher and higher)
Higher and higher
(Higher and higher)
I said, keep on liftin'
(Liftin', liftin', liftin' me)
