LIFT ME UP

Well, I saw you just the other day
My, you’re so much older now
And if I’ve failed, at least I’ve done it my way
And that makes me feel better somehow
But I would be worse off if I never confessed
That I’ve never loved another like I loved you
And if you think that I don’t care, when you catch me
Out of the corner of your eye, you know I do
Wanted to hold you in the long run
And leave like bullet from a shotgun
Raise me up, lift me up
You say heaven ain’t enough
If you want something real
Is it better not to feel?
Lift me up when you say
That you wanted it that way
It goes better when I choose to believe
It’s a world that’s beautiful for me
Well we grew up in the neighborhood together
Twenty city blocks formed an invisible wall
Was it wrong to aspire to something better
Beneath the trees on the playground in the fall?
If you ever need something to believe in
Well, baby you can believe in me
And you ask what matters and what’s deceiving
You know what I see?
I see a woman with a pretty face
Life packed in a suitcase, movin’ on to a better place
Raise me up, lift me up
You say heaven ain’t enough
If you want something real
Is it better not to feel?
Fill me up, lift me up
I have something in my cup
It goes better when I choose to believe
It’s a world that’s beautiful for me
Follow me down a deserted highway
The light you see at the end, it ain’t far
Yeah, if you need someone to believe in
Baby you can believe in me
Because after all in the end if you didn’t win
That’s okay, one day you’ll be free
You can take my hand
And we’ll walk in the sand
Lyin’ on that sandy beach
With the sun shinin’ through trees
And I think everyone will see this is a world
That’s beautiful…beautiful enough for me
Raise me up, lift me up
You say heaven ain’t enough
If you want something real
Is it better not to feel?
Fill me up, lift me up
I have something in my cup
It goes better when we choose to believe
It’s a world that’s beautiful for me
And you
It’s true
