Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Oh and rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and sliding
It's magic

And you
And your sweet desire
You took me
Oh, higher and higher baby

It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

I'm takin' a dive
Dive

Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day
(I'm takin' a dive)
Oh movin' in line when you look back in time
To the first day
(I'm taken, I'm taken)
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/electric+light+orchestra/livin+thing+album+version_20963029.html ]
And you
And your sweet desire
(Don't you do it, don't you do it?)
You took me
Oh, higher and higher baby

It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

And I'm takin' a dive
Ah the slide, hey

Takin' a dive 'cos 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
(Don't you do it, don't you do it?)
You took me
Oh, higher and higher baby

It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
