Dolly Parton - (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher Lyrics
[Intro]
Your love has lifted me
Your love has lifted me higher, higher and higher
Your love keeps lifting me
Keeps right on lifting me higher, higher and higher
[Chorus]
Your love keeps lifting me
Keeps on lifting me higher, higher and higher
Your love keeps lifting me
Keeps on lifting me higher, higher and higher
[Verse 1]
Your love lifted me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it up, feel my desires
And I'll be at your side forevermore
[Chorus]
Your love keeps lifting me
Keeps on lifting me higher, higher and higher
Your love keeps lifting me
Keeps on lifting me higher, higher and higher
[Verse 2]
I'm so glad so glad I found you
I'm so proud that I am your girl
So you keep on holding my hand
I'll be proud to say it to the world
[Chorus]
Your love keeps lifting me
Keeps on lifting me higher, higher and higher
Your love keeps lifting me
Keeps on lifting me higher, higher and higher
[Verse 3]
I was hurt and downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
And then you came, hurt somebody
It ain't never gonna show its face again
[Chorus]
No no, your love has lifted me
Keeps right on lifting me higher, higher and higher
Your love keeps lifting me
Keeps right on lifting me higher, higher and higher
