Lift me (E)up

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

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

Lift me (E)up

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

Hold me (E)close
