When I am (Eb)down,

and, (Ab)oh my soul, so (Eb)wear y;

when troub les come,

and (Ab)my heart bur dened (Bb)be;

then I am (Ab)still

and wait here in the (Eb)si lence,

un til you (Bb)come

and sit a while (Eb)with me.

(CN.C.)You raise me (Ab)up,

so I can stand on (Bb)moun tains;

you raise me (Ab)up

to walk on storm y (Bb)seas.

I am (Ab)strong,

when I am on your (Ab)shoul ders,

you raise me (Bb)up,

to more than I can (Eb)be.

You raise (C)me (Bb)up,

so I can stand on (C)moun tains;

to walk on storm y (C)seas.

I am (Bb)strong

About “You Raise Me Up”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "You Raise Me Up"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature Eb. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "You Raise Me Up" by Westlife played in?
You Raise Me Up is arranged in the key of Eb on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "You Raise Me Up"?
The arrangement plays at 60 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "You Raise Me Up" easy to play on piano?
Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
Can I download sheet music for "You Raise Me Up"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "You Raise Me Up"?
"You Raise Me Up" was originally performed by Westlife. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
What other songs by Westlife can I play here?
Try "SAFE", "All Out Of Love", "Flying Without Wings". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "You Raise Me Up" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Eb, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 60 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
