Sailin' away on the crest of a wave   It's like magic   Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin'   It's magic      And you, and your sweet desire,   You took me,   higher and higher, baby   It's a livin' thing,   It's a terrible thing to lose   It's a given thing   What a terrible thing to lose.      Making believe this is what you've conceived   From your worst day,(im taking a dive)   Moving in line when you look back in time   To your first day (im taking im taking)      And you, and your sweet desire,   You took me,   higher and higher baby   It's a livin' thing,   It's a terrible thing to lose   It's a given thing   What a terrible thing to lose.      Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide   Floating downstream, (im taking a dive)   So let her go don't start spoiling the show   It's a bad dream (im taking im taking)      And you, and your sweet desire,   You took me,   higher and higher baby   It's a livin' thing,   It's a terrible thing to lose   It's a given thing   What a terrible thing to lose.
