D'Angelo - Higher Lyrics






[1ST VERSE]
Feels like heaven when I think about you
sparking that love within my soul
and when I touch U, I can't describe it
sending chills, down my bones

[1ST BRIDGE]
With God as my witness and watching over
We'll write our love in the stone
Please give us strength Lord to fight our battles
and we can walk on the streets of gold

[CHORUS]
Cause you take me higher, than I've ever, ever known
give me good feeling, like a king and queen on a throne
cause you take me higher, further than the sky above
send me in ecstasy baby, with you love

[2ND VERSE]
Tell me what you're thinking of, must thinking of love
put your hands into mine and then we'll take off to the sky above
soft like an angel, like the feathers laying on a dove
touch me with your soul love, till I lose control

[2ND BRIDGE]
Just like an angel watching over me
(U protect me from my fears)
I once was blind, but now I see
(Ever since the day U appeared)
I just wanna say
I want U in my life
till the day I die baby

[Repeat]

Look in my eyes,
tell me right now,
that U and your love
will 4-ever take me higher

[REPEAT 1ST BRIDGE]

[REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE]

    Now... could NO ONE say "2019?".
    At the very least, couldn't we just agree with the first person who says it instead of re-typing it over and over? Let's just try everybody.

  55. M.... S....

  56. C.... S....

    Ok, so I had to enjoy some of the comments first before writing mine.

    Someone took the words out of my mouth when they said "a gospel and a love song in one, it don't get no better than this!"

    This song is EVERYTHING!

    Someone else took the words out of my mouth when they said "It takes me to another demension"

    This song is sultry, spiritual, emotional, down-homey, feel-goodey, and simply gorgeous. Words just can't explain fully why this song stays on REPEAT.

    I'M just now hearing it for the first time at 40 yrs old, and now is the perfect time in my life to be introduced to it. I'm ripe. I'm ready.

    Thank you, D'Angelo. You were way before your time. 20yrs old when you did this?!

  57. P.... W....

    2019 fire

  58. P.... P....

    oh yes...👑

  59. b.... ....

    This is still one of my favorite songs. I appreciate it more considering the music played today in 2019. True originality and creativity....I miss the days of true musicianship. Real instruments, real talent...Neo-soul music is the best!

  60. T.... S....

    I love this song & D'angelo so much till we done a live version of 'Nothing Even Matters.

    OWWW! sing it babe. I saw D' Angelo years ago perform in Georgia. He was amazing to the 10th power and he sang, sang and he looked good at the same time. I am just sayin ;)

  78. D.... M....

    D'angelo on this track sounds more gospel than nearly every gospel artist out today. Amazing vocal chops.

  79. T.... H....

    Sometimes there is just no justice for a good woman. :( You know I have been single for 9 years and it's been by choice. So a pull up to my apartment and one of the neighbors is outside and he has tried to talk to me before but I really don't have nothing to do with nobody. He asked me how I'm doing I said I'm off today. And that I'm going to be moving and he looks at me licking his lips. I've been out here for 4 years and I'm thinking to myself why you going to try to talk to me now that I got a car. Hold on let me backup, so when I moved into my apartment 4 years ago at that point I went from a homeless shelter to having keys in my hand. :) :) I walked everywhere I went and rode the bus but because I was walking, you're not going to believe this, people called me a prostitute. Yes a prostitute I had to walk to the store I had to walk to the bus stop and these inconsiderate men would call me a prostitute or try to ask it approach me like they were trying to buy me or something.. :(
    But better yet, what I did not have any Value when I was homeless? Because I was homeless I meant nothing? Was it because I panhandled? You could not muster up a word back then? Or sleeping in the woods, you could not say anything? Oh, that's right, I forgot I had no value. Was it when I chose to stay in the homeless shelters and focus on trying to get out. Could not say anything when I was getting up before they even cut the lights on, getting dressed in the dark just to go to work doing Trojan Labor. This was day labor, manual labor and not one day did I do anything meant for a woman to do. Waking up wanting to cry because every muscle on me hurt, Or going back to the shelter after working all day sunburned and dehydrated. Didn't nobody have nothing to say when I was having nervous brake downs over my children not being with me. Maybe could not say anything when I got my apartment. Still nothing when I was working and walking / riding the bus everywhere I went. But now that I have a car something material that struck your eyes, you want to talk to me? Man, get out of my face!

    Then I have people that are jealous of me try cause problems. How inconsiderate is that? To be jealous of somebody that has just fought through homelessness for 4 freaking years and because that person wants better for her life and keep trying. She refuses to give up. And they want to look at me wrong. I can't wait to move. I can't wait to go somewhere that nobody knows me. Because these people have seen me go from walking to driving and now I'm moving. Just inconsiderate how people do. Anyway I locked my door to my car over my shoulder as I was walking away from that guy. I want to talk to all the ladies... Don't ever think that your only choice is to get involved with a man in a relationship just to make progress in your life. Nobody needs to validate you except for God. Ain't no man ever going to validate who I am. you don't have to have that unless it's what you want to choose.

  80. j.... m....

    Love ,love this damn song!!

  81. A.... R....

    U can tell how much he was influenced by Prince's music.This is an Amazing Ballad !!! Rude Boy 1!!! NPG 4 Life!!! 😎

  82. T.... H....

    You know how good it feels to hold my head up and to know in my heart and to know that my father God knows. I've been single for 9 years and refused to hook up shack up or get up with anybody under a false hearted condition based on circumstance or my situation while fighting through homelessness, and now refusing to get into a relationship with any man that is not from my heavenly father. How good it is to hold my head up and have confidence knowing that through the pressure, through the pain, through the suffering I proved myself to myself that I am worthy of that man that Jehovah God has for me. I am THEwoman for that man. There is always purpose through pain. There is always a lesson learned a Divine confirmation that is mint just for you. I can hold my head up and know that within God's timing this man will be present in my life and that is a blessing. It has all been through God's grace and mercy that I survived, that I overcame a situation that was meant to kill me, it was meant to take my life, it was meant to make me someone that I'm not and in a bad way, but instead God molded me into the woman I am today. Know my purpose was through my pain and suffering, now those experiences are being used to help other women within that same unfortunate situation. God placed my feet in this water, he placed my feet on the path in which I needed to be on and I'm ready to go deeper. Seeing these people today, and knowing that I never ask for anything. One of my cousins restaurants I ask for a job not for money but for a job and I was battling homelessness back then. But I don't I'm not hurt over the fact that they haven't been in my life because basically it's been my choice it's been a time of progress of time of improving myself a time of growing our time of allowing my Lord to direct me to mold me to use me as necessary. It's been a time of proving myself to myself and seeing myself as worthy as seeing myself as a Valor woman of God. I am very thankful and humbled.
