Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You keep on taking me higher

Taking me higher, I can't come down

Searching for something

Searching for something I've never found

My love for you is so strong

My love for you is so strong

My love for you is so strong

My love for you

My love for you

(My love for you)

My love for you is so strong

Taking me higher

You keep on taking me higher

Taking me higher, I can't come down

Searching for something

Searching for something I've never found

My love for you is so strong

My love for you is so strong

My love for you is so strong

My love for you

My love for you

(My love for you)

My love for you is so strong

Taking me higher

Key Grammar Structures

• You keep on taking me higher

  ➔ keep on + V‑ing (phrasal verb for repeated action)

  ➔ The phrase **"keep on"** followed by the gerund **"taking"** shows a repeated or continuous action: "You **keep on** **taking** me higher."

• I can't come down

  ➔ modal verb + base verb (negative ability)

  ➔ The modal **"can't"** (cannot) + base verb **"come"** expresses inability: "I **can't** **come** down."

• Searching for something I've never found

  ➔ present participle clause + relative clause (present perfect)

  ➔ The gerund **"Searching"** starts a participle clause, and **"I've never found"** is a relative clause using present perfect: "**Searching** for something **I've never found**."

• My love for you is so strong

  ➔ simple present + copular verb + intensifier "so" + adjective

  ➔ The sentence uses the simple present **"is"** as a copula, and the intensifier **"so"** before the adjective **"strong"**: "My love for you **is so** **strong**."

• Taking me higher, I can't come down

  ➔ fronted present participle clause + main clause (comma splice for emphasis)

  ➔ The participle **"Taking"** starts the sentence, creating a fronted clause, followed by the main clause **"I can't come down"** separated by a comma: "**Taking** me higher, **I can't** **come** down."

• My love for you (My love for you)

  ➔ parenthetical repetition (ellipsis of verb)

  ➔ The phrase is repeated inside parentheses, omitting the verb **"is"** for stylistic effect: "**My love for you** (**My love for you**)".

• My love for you is so strong

  ➔ exclamatory structure with intensifier "so"

  ➔ The sentence can be read as an exclamation, emphasizing the intensity with **"so"**: "My love for you **is so** **strong**!"
