I’ll write myself a simple song
Get the whole world to sing along
I’ll call it a love song for you

And who knows
I’m liable to take a song from the bible
And then when I’m thro’
I’ll just sing:

love lifted me, love lifted me
when nothing else would do
you know, love lifted me

everybody’s lookin’ for a way to say something
everybody’s sayin’ “well, that’s hard to do”.

A searchin’ their mind
Tryin’ to find the one of a kind way
that they could say something new
I just say:

love lifted me, love lifted me
when i was down and down
you know, love lifted me
love lifted me, …

Love lifted me, love lifted me
when nothing else would do
you know, love lifted me

Love lifted me, love lifted me
when nothing else would do
you know, love lifted me

Love lifted me, love lifted me
when i was down and down
you know, love lifted me

Everybody sing….
Love lifted me, oh oh oh, love lifted me
when nothing else would do
