Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin'
It's magicAnd you, and your sweet desire
You took me, ohh, higher and higher, babyIt's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to loseMaking believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day, I'm takin' a dive
Oh, moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day, I'm takin', I'm takin'And you and your sweet desire
You took me ohh, higher and higher babyIt's a living thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to loseAnd I'm takin' a dive, ah the slide, heyTakin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream, I'm takin a dive
Ah, so let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream, I'm takin', I'm takin'And you and your sweet desire
You took me, ohh, higher and higher, babyIt's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to loseIt's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to loseI'm takin' a dive, ah the slide, oh yeah
Ah the slide
