Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart Lyrics

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, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown

In a world that was war
I once lived in a time
That was peace
With no trouble at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling I know
Shook my heart
And made me want you to stay
All of my nights
And all of my days

I wanna tell you now
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Something's invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, 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, oh yeah
A smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour (yeah) every day (yeah)
You touch me and my mind goes astray
And baby yeah, and baby yeah

Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown

In a world that was war
I once lived in a time
That was peace
With no trouble at all

But then you, you, you
Came my way

And a feeling I know
Shook my heart
And made me want you to stay
All of my nights
And all of my days

Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, scarlet for you

Gene Pitney and Marc Almond, together, dueting on a song, together - I never thought I'd see the day!

I cannot believe that there's only one post on such a great song!? This lyrics are just ... I don't know how to express what I feel while listening to this song - it' so emotional!

Ingenious!

Oh, and I have to add - I am almost positive that lyrics are not: "And a feeling I know Shook my heart" but: "And THE feeling UNKNOWN Shook my heart"

Makes much more sense, right? ;)

This song takes me back to a certain period of my life... Happy, as you can guess:) It still hurts the fact that it's over, but, for some unknown reason, the song always keeps "turning me up" and "making me smile", as if I've just fallen in love!

One of the most passionate, stirring love songs ever!!! And a great remake. The meaning is clear, it's about somebody having their world turned upside down falling in love with a certain person.
