Lyrics
LIFTING ME UP © E.C.WEBB
HEY GIRL THIS AIN'T WHAT I WAS EXPECTING
I THOUGHT THIS WOULD ONLY LAST FOR A WHILE
I WAS ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR THE NEXT THING
NOW ALL I WANT, IS TO SEE YOU SMILE
THEY SAY FOR EVERY DOOR THAT CLOSES
THAT SOMETHING ELSE WILL ALWAYS COME
AND THOUGH WE DON'T EXPECT A BED OF ROSES
AIN'T IT GOOD TO KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT DONE
YOUR LOVE IS LIFTING ME UP
YOUR LOVE IS LIFTING ME UP
YOUR LOVE IS LIFTING ME UP, LIFTING ME
HIGHER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN BEFORE
THERE WAS A TIME I KNEW TOO WELL WHAT HURT MEANT
ALL MY HOPES THEY TURNED UPSIDE DOWN
WHEN I DISCOVERED ROCK BOTTOM HAD A BASEMENT
AND THERE YOU WERE AT THE LOST AND FOUND
OH I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW WE GOT GOING
OR WHEN I REALISED YOU FELT THE WAY YOU DO
BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT NOW AND US JUST KNOWING
WE GOT SOMETHING WE CAN HOLD ON TO
YOUR LOVE IS LIFTING ME UP
YOUR LOVE IS LIFTING ME UP
YOUR LOVE IS LIFTING ME UP, LIFTING ME
HIGHER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN BEFORE
SOLO
YOUR LOVE IS LIFTING ME UP
YOUR LOVE IS LIFTING ME UP
YOUR LOVE IS LIFTING ME UP, LIFTING ME
HIGHER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN BEFORE (REPEAT)....................................
