Lyrics
You take me to heaven baby
You’re taking me higher and higher
You take me to paradise
Tonight I’m gonna fly
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes of love
Towards the open sky
Gonna spread my wings and circle above
I’ve been too long on the ground
My head looking down
I don’t want to be there again
You gave me a love so real
Now I can’t believe how you’re making me feel
You take me to heaven baby
You’re taking me higher and higher
You take me to paradise
Don’t you know it feels so good
You take me to heaven,
Higher, higher, higher
The sweetest liberty
is a heart in chains that love sets free
And so you came my way
And I knew I’d found my destiny
The pain and the tears have all disappeared
And now I won’t be crying no more
I never felt so sure
Cos I’ve found what I’ve been looking for
You take me to heaven baby
You’re taking me higher and higher
You take me to paradise
Don’t you know it feels so good
You take me to heaven baby (to heaven)
You’re taking me higher and higher
You take me to paradise
Higher baby, higher, higher
There are no boundaries for love
But you know you’ve gotta have faith and trust in me
To keep the feeling strong
You gotta have faith
You must believe
Ooh baby
You take me to heaven baby
You’re taking me higher and higher
You take me to paradise
Don’t you know it feels so good
You take me to heaven baby (to heaven)
You’re taking me higher and higher
You take me to paradise
Don’t you know it feels so good
You take me to heaven
You’re taking me higher and higher, higher, higher
Feels so good
You’re taking me
You’re taking me
Feels so good (to heaven)
You’re taking me
You’re taking me higher
Feels so good
You’re taking me
You’re taking me
