Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been so many places
I've seen so many things
But none quite as lovely as you
More beautiful than the Mona Lisa
Worth more than gold
And my eyes have pleasure to behold
[Chorus]
You're my latest
And my greatest
My latest, my greatest inspiration
[Verse 2]
Things never looked clearer
Peace within never felt nearer
My burden's gone
It's turned into a song
Tender as a baby's touch
I needed you, oh, so much
At last the load is so light
[Chorus]
You're my latest
And my greatest
My latest, my greatest inspiration
[Verse 3]
I plan to give you all that I have
I'll be everything, everything you think I am
You make life a joy to live
And I'm thankful
Yes, I'm blessed
Just to know you
[Verse 4]
I've been so many places
I've seen so many things
But none quite as delectable as you
More beautiful than the Mona Lisa
Worth more than gold
And my eyes have had the pleasure just to behold
[Chorus]
You're my latest
Tell you, you're my greatest
My latest, my greatest inspiration
You inspire me, inspire me
Don't you know it?
My latest, my greatest inspiration
[Outro]
You just keep on liftin' me up now
Higher
Higher
You inspire me
I want you to keep on liftin' me up
Higher
Higher
[Outro]
I want you to keep on liftin' me up now (Higher)
Alright
Higher
Alright
Say you got me
You got me doin' things (Higher)
I've never done before
Higher
See, you inspire me
You inspire me
Don't you know I love you, girl?
[Outro]
Higher (Hey, hey, hey)
Higher
You, you, you, you keep on liftin' me
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
Higher
You, you, you keep on liftin' me now
[Outro]
Higher
Higher (Higher)
Higher
Oh, now
Higher
You keep on liftin' me
Higher
You keep on liftin' me
[Outro]
You know what you do to me
Come on, keep on liftin' me (Higher)
Higher
Higher
Higher
