What’s Come Over Me

Every week I’ll be sharing a song here in my blog. A little warning though, you may find some of them to be mushy or cheesy, especially those OPM classics with really deep Tagalog words (I may not even know the meaning of some of them). I don’t know but I’m just amazed by the lyrics of Tagalog songs. I really love our language… imagine how one word in english can have a thousand different meanings in our Tagalog or Filipino. I’ll also be posting english songs, of course.

This is the first song that I’m going to share with you. The very first time I heard this, it was being sung by Monique Wilson, I think it was on the TV show Ryan Ryan Musikahan (I loved that show). I was still in high school then and there was no internet yet that time and it took me awhile to find out the title of the song and that the original version was by Kuh Ledesma and Richard Tann. I really like the melody and the lyrics of this one and hope you’ll like it too.

WHAT’S COME OVER ME
By Kuh Ledesma and Richard Tann

One of these days I’ll take you by the hand
And make you understand how much I love you

One of these nights when everything is calm
I’ll hold you in my arms and you’ll just know it

I don’t know what’s come over me
You came into my life too fast
I just know deep within me
This feeling’s gonna last
Forever and ever
We’ll be together
You and I

Maybe it’s time to share your life with mine
I’ll make it worth your while if you just let me

Once in your life just open up your heart
And maybe we can start our forever
