The Higher You Climb - Peabo Bryson

I didn’t love you more than twice

But when you fall in love, you pay the price

Know the rules before you roll the dice

Because love won’t always be tender

Sometimes emotions can run too high

You gotta follow your heart and reach for the sky

Rest assured, you’re gonna live and die

There’s just one thing for you to remember

The higher you climb

The harder you fall

Oh, when you love someone

That’s when you give it all

The higher you climb

The harder you fall

You’ve got plenty of friends

When you’ve got it all

For the higher you climb

Remember, the harder you fall

Everyone now

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-whoa…

Be very careful of the friends you choose

Because fair-weather friends can be bad news

When you’re all alone and you cry the blues

Your friends won’t lend you a shoulder

Life is a circle that goes round and round

One day you’re up but the next day you’re down

Sometimes a smile, then you frown

But we learn as we grow older

The higher you climb

The harder you fall

Oh, when you love someone

That’s when you give it all

The higher you climb

The harder you fall

You’ve got plenty of friends

When you’ve got it all

For the higher you climb

Remember, the harder you fall

Everyone now

Everyone

Everyone loves you when you’re climbing

But no one will help you if you miss your timing

(Reach for the sky)

Believe in yourself, you can have it all

Just remember, the higher you climb

The harder you fall

Everyone, now

Ooh-ooh, yeah

The higher you climb

The harder you fall

Oh, when you love someone

That’s when you give it all

The higher you climb

The harder you fall

You’ve got plenty of friends

When you’ve got it all

Some folks say that the weight of time

Brings a change of heart

And as time goes on

Sometimes friends get to part…
