Lyrics for Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart
Something's gotten hold of my heart Keeping my soul and my senses apart Something's gotten into my life Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife Turning me up and turning me down Making me smile and making me frown In a world that was small I once lived in a time that was peace with no trouble at all But then you came my way And a feeling unknown, shook my heart Made me want you to stay All of my nights and all of my days I gotta tell you now Something's gotten hold of my hand Dragging my soul to a beautiful land Something has invaded my nights Painting my sleep with the colors so bright Changing the gray and changing the blue Scarlet for me and scarlet for you I've got to know if this is the real thing I've got to know what's making my heart sing, woah, yeah You smile and I am lost for a lifetime Each minute spent with you is the right time Every hour, every day You touch me and my mind goes astray And baby And baby Something's gotten hold of my heart Dragging my soul to a beautiful land Something has invaded my nights Painting my sleep with the colors so bright Changing the gray and changing the blue Scarlet for me and scarlet for you
