  Am           G            F           C
When I needed someone, you helped me through
    Am       G
No man is an island
       F                C
I need, I need a woman like you
         Am                    G
Now I'm safe from the storm, shelter from the wind
     F       C                 Am
You help me see, you gave your all
           G                F   C
Gave your world you made a family

Chorus:
                         F     C
You lift me up, like the angels
            Am
You lift me up
G            F       C
 Beautiful children
            G
You lift me up, strong women
            C             F
You lift me up, precious people
            C
You lift me up
               Csus4  C Am  G
You're not too young to reason
    F        C
Too old to dream

The measure of a true friend
Is that you'll always know
Good friends, they may come
Friends like you will never go
You can feel it in your heart, feel it in your touch
And in your soul
I can see it in your smile, see it in your face
'Cause together we grow old

Chorus:
You lift me up
Like the angels
You lift me up
Beautiful children
You lift me up
Strong women
You lift me up
Precious people
You lift me up
You're never too young to reason
Too old to dream, oh

 Am                    G
You give me strength, reason for living
 F          C
Heart and soul
Our kind of love is special
It's worth more than gold

Chorus:
You lift me up
Like the angels
You lift me up
Beautiful children
You lift me up
Strong women
You lift me up
Precious people
You lift me up
You're not too young to reason
Never too old to dream
