The Way
Jody Watley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You hold me and a hundred rainbows fill the sky
Everytime we're together you kiss me
And I feel just like my heart can fly

You got the touch of a treasure
When I think about all those lonely night
I just thank the lord
A love like yours is here in my mind

You take me all the way to Heaven
You make me feel so right, you lift me up
Your love everyday new, baby
Take me up all the way to Heaven
All the way to Heaven, baby

Your smile can be the brightest might shine brighter
Stop angels from singing
Make a heart think it's dreaming
You light up my world, with the things you do
And I found my way to Paradise when baby, I found you

You take me all the way to Heaven
You make me feel so right, you lift me up
Your love everyday new baby
Take me up all the way to Heaven
All the way to Heaven, baby

You hold me I'm flying, you take me so high
I'm sailing on emotions, when you love me
I can touch the sky, all the way to Heaven
I thank my lucky stars every single night
And I thank the Lord
A love like yours is here in my life

You take me all the way to Heaven
You make me feel so right, you lift me up
Your love everyday new baby




Take me up all the way to Heaven
All the way to Heaven, baby
