From the recording Say 'Yes!'
Lyrics
LOVE TAKES OVER ME (Janis Kelly)
When I’m all alone without a friend in sight
No one but myself to tell me I’m alright
I stop, ‘cause I’ve seen this all before
I find my special place where no one goes but me
I turn within myself and set my spirit free
And smile, ‘cause I’m lonely never more--never more
When I want the world to stop, the skies to fall
The rains to come, and flood my soul
I think of you, and love takes over me
I’ve searched for all my life to find a sense of peace
Plagued by doubts and fears I thought would never cease
I cried, ‘cause I longed so to be free
But then one day I stopped to hear your still, small voice
And it reminded me, I always have the choice
You said that it’s all inside of me--all in me
When I want the world to stop, the skies to fall
The rains to come, and flood my soul
I think of you, and love takes over me
(Love takes over me…)
Love, you picked me up, and you turned me ‘round
(Love takes over me…)
You helped me get my feet, on solid ground
(Love takes over me…)
Now everything I do, or say, or be
(Love takes over me…)
Is truly a reflection of your love inside of me!
Your love has touched my soul, it’s opened up my heart
It’s healed the places where I once was torn apart
I know, ‘cause I’ve changed in every way
But there are still those times when I forget what’s true
I feel such pain inside that I don’t know what to do
I say, “give me strength for just this day--just this day!”
When I want the world to stop, the skies to fall
The rains to come, and flood my soul
I think of you, and love takes over me
When I want the world to stop, the skies to fall
The rains to come, and flood my soul
I think of you, and love takes over me
When I want the world to stop, the skies to fall
The rains to come, and flood my soul
I think of you, and love takes over me
Me--me--me!
