Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Rollin' & ridin' and slippin' & 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 givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose.
I'm takin' a dive (dive, dive...)
Dive (dive, dive...)
Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day, (I'm takin' a dive)
Moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day (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
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
