I fell in love with this song in when I first heard it. The track was originally released on Ruby Red Records by Malcolm Heath and Mike Evans, AKA Colm III in 1987. The version I own is the re-release on beautiful transparent blue vinyl by Elusive Records. This song always puts a huge smile on my face.

Lyrics:

Colm III - Take Me High

High as a mountain, that’s where I want to be.
Listen to the echo from both you and me.
Your’re like a drug, girl, that I have to take.
I dream of you even though I’m awake.
They may look, but they can’t hold,
cause what I have is more precious than gold.
I feel so helpless when you’re not around,
But when we’re together, my feet don’t touch the ground.

You take me high
You take me high
You take me high
Take Me High

First night I met you I won’t ever forget,
You make me shiver,
You make my hands sweat
My body’s never ever felt this way before ,
Ohh, you drive me crazy as you grace the dance floor.

Now I want the whole world to see,
That you are part of my destiny.
Holding hands together, you made me feel proud,
You made me feel like I was walking on a cloud.

You take me high
You take me high
You take me high
Take me high

High as a mountain, that’s where I want to be

You take me high
Take Me High

Bonus video

Colm III had some other songs but none near as successful as Take Me High. Colm III Christmas Tree has got some nice Acid moments and will now make my Christmas party playlist.
