Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Rollin' and ridin' and 1 ' and sliding
It's magic

And you and your sweet desire
You took me, oh, higher and higher 2

It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible 3 to lose

I'm takin' a dive (dive, dive...)
Dive (dive, 4 ...)

Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your 5 day (I'm takin' a dive)
Moving in line when you look back in time
To the 6 day (I'm takin', I'm takin')

And you and your sweet 7
(Don't you do it, don't you do it)
Taking me, oh, higher and 8 baby

It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a 9 thing to lose

I'm takin' a dive (dive, dive...)
All the same (same, same...)
Hey (hey, hey...)

Takin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream (I'm takin' a dive)
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)
Taking me, oh, higher and higher baby

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

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