Half way to heaven, in an angel's eyes Riding high and feeling easy With the guitars playing And her body swaying I'm gonna breakaway Ah ha, don't stop, don't stop the music Rave on, into the light Don't stop, don't stop the music Rave on, all night ... Drums keep driving Lord the band plays on Don't it almost take your breath away And the midnight lovers One by one discover Ah turn it up, turn it up Don't stop, don't stop the music Rave on, into the light Don't stop, don't stop the music Rave on, all night ... Oh baby let it take you, let it shake you This could be our night And tonight there'll be no giving in Baby this is the one that we win ... Don't stop, don't stop the music Rave on, into the light Don't stop, don't stop the music Rave on, all night ... Don't stop, don't stop the music Rave on, into the light Don't stop, don't stop the music Rave on, all night ... Rave on
