HIGHER AND HIGHER Slowly, you slowly, slowly turn me up so slowly burn me I'm catching fire, catch me I'm falling softly you approach me than avoid me you set me ablaze so quickly and quietly destroy me inside I'm fading why do you play so cruelly? you want to consume me I'm left with only a lonely, lovely longing I'm fire sweetly burning Higher and higher burning higher and higher Slowly, you slowly, slowly burn me in your flames I'm drowning and from my ashes I rise back up again Slowly, you slowly, slowly burn me in your flames I'm drowning and from my ashes I rise back up again you tease me don't play with me, release me I'm begging you to help me I'm pleading for your mercy You see me glowing, but inside I'm dying you see me firmly standing, but I'm softly melting I'm left with only a lonely lovely longing I'm fire sweetly burning Higher and higher burning higher and higher
