When the (C#m7)world was n’t up side down,

I could (C#m7)take all the time I had.

But I’m (C#m7)not gon na wait when a mo ment can van ish so fast.

’Cause (G#m7)ev ’ry kiss is a kiss you can nev er get back.

Lift me (E)up

(A)in your eyes.

If you (E)told me that is what Heav en is, well, you’d be right.

I’ve been (C#m7)wait ing for ev er for this,

(A)this is the (E)night.

When the (C#m7)an swer to all my dreams

is as (C#m7)close as a touch a way,

(G#m7)why am I here hold in’ back what I’m try ing to say?

Lift me (E)up

(A)in your eyes.

If you (E)told me that is what Heav en is, well, you’d be right.

Hold me (E)close

(A)to your heart.

I would (E)go with you to the ends of the earth, and we’ll fly.

(B)I’ve been (C#m7)wait ing for ev er for this,

(A)this is the (E)night.
