“Higher Love” marks Whitney Houston’s third posthumous release, and her first in over six years, following her death in February 2012.
Houston originally covered Steve Winwood’s signature song in 1990, but the track was only included on the Japanese edition of her third studio album, I’m Your Baby...
[Intro]
Bring me higher love, love
Bring me higher love
[Verse 1]
Think about it, there must be a higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart, and I'll look inside mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk the line and try to see
Falling behind in what could be, oh
[Chorus]
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
[Post-Chorus]
Bring me higher love, love
Bring me higher love (Oh)
Bring me higher love, love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me higher love, love
Bring me higher love (Oh)
Bring me higher love, love
Bring me a higher love
[Verse 2]
Worlds are turning, and we're just hanging on
Facing our fear, and standing out there alone
A yearning, yeah, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me
[Pre-Chorus]
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk the line and try to see
Falling behind in what could be, oh
[Chorus]
Bring me a higher love (My love)
Bring me a higher love, oh (Oh)
Bring me a higher love (My love)
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
[Post-Chorus]
Bring me higher love, love
Bring me higher love (Oh)
Bring me higher love, love
Bring me a higher love
[Chorus]
Bring me a higher love (Oh, bring me love)
Bring me a higher love, oh (We need a higher love)
Bring me a higher love (Bring me, bring me, yeah)
A higher love I keep thinking of, oh
[Post-Chorus]
(Bring me a higher love)
Bring me higher love, love
(Bring me a higher love)
Bring me higher love (Oh)
(Bring me a higher love)
Bring me higher love, love
A higher love I keep thinking of, oh
[Outro]
Bring me a higher love
(Bring me higher love, love)
Bring me a higher love, oh
(Bring me higher love)
