Higher Lyrics by D’Angelo

Brown Sugar

1995

[Intro]
Yeah, oh-oh
Hey, oh
Hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, woah
Ooh
Hey
Hey

[Verse 1]
Feels like Heaven, yeah, when I think about you
Sparkin' that love, oh yeah, within my soul, oh
And when I touch you, yeah, I can't describe it
Sending chills, yeah, yeah, down to my bones, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
God as my witness (Hey) and watching over (And watching over)
We'll write our love (We'll write our love, yeah)
Write our love (We'll write our love, yeah) in the stone
Please give us strength, Lord, to fight our battles
And we can walk on, yeah, the streets of gold
Hey

[Chorus]
'Cause you take me higher (Oh, yeah) than I've ever, ever known (Yeah)
Give me good feeling (Ah, oh, yeah), like a king and queen on a throne (Like a king and queen on a throne)
'Cause you take me higher (Yeah, yeah), further than the stars above (Oh-oh)
Send me in ecstasy, baby (Yeah), with your love (With your love, oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Tell me what you're thinking of (Tell me what you're thinking of)
Must be thinking 'bout love, yeah (Must be thinking 'bout love)
Put your hands into mine, love
And then we'll take off to the skies above (Ooh-ooh)
Soft like an angel (Oh, yes), ooh
Like the feathers laying on a dove
Touch me with your soul, love, 'til I lose control
Ooh

[Bridge]
Just like an angel (Yeah) watching over me
(You protect me from my fears)
I once was blind (Yeah), but now I see
(Ever since the day you appeared)
I just wanna say, I want you in my life
'Til the day I die, baby (Yeah, yeah)
(I just wanna tell you that I love you)
I just wanna say, I want you in my life (Yeah)
'Til the day I die, baby (Yeah, yeah)
(I just wanna show you how I want you in my life)
I just wanna say, I want you in my life (Oh-oh)
'Til the day I die, baby (Ooh-ooh)
Look in my eyes (Yeah, yeah)
Tell me right now
That you and your love will take me higher

[Interlude]
Ooh
Oh, yeah
Hey
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Hey
Oh, yes (Hey)
Hey
Hey
Ooh, hey

[Pre-Chorus]
God as my witness (God as my witness, God as my witness) and watching over (And watching over, and watching over, yeah)
We'll write our love (We'll write our love, yeah, yeah)
Write our love (We'll write our love, yeah) in the stone
Please give us strength, Lord, oh, to fight our battles
And we can walk on (We can walk) the streets of gold
Hey

[Chorus]
'Cause you take me higher (Hey) than I've ever, ever known (Oh, oh, yeah)
Give me good feeling (Give me good feeling), like a king and queen on a throne (Yeah, oh, yeah)
'Cause you take me higher ('Cause you take me higher), further than the stars above (Hey)
Send me in ecstasy, baby (Hey), with your love (Oh-oh)
'Cause you take me higher (Oh, yeah) than I've ever, ever known (Oh, sugar)
Give me good feeling (Oh, give me good feeling), like a king and queen on a throne (Oh, yes)
'Cause you take me higher (Yeah, yeah), further than the stars above (Oh)
Send me in ecstasy, baby, with your love
