Lyrics
Your Love, Lifting Me Higher
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 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 You Know He Never Showed His Face Again

That's Why 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)
Awww

I'm So Glad I Finally Found You
Yes, That One In A Million Girls
And I Wish My Loving Arms Around Ya
Honey, I Can Stand Up And Face The World

Let Me Tell Ya 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)

Song Note

At first, he sang it like a ballad. But Wilson hit the right gallop after producer Davis told him "to jump and go along with the percussion." Motown bassist James Jamerson played down below.
