Capture Your Heart
Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna take my soul to town
Gonna set my spirit free
Gonna capture your heart
Right from the start
You belong to me
[Repeat chorus]
If we could fly on our love
We are two birds high above
Suspended by the magic bond
Of love itself
Only then I would send
The soulful word again
The word of love
We're certain of
The one you love
[Repeat chorus]
(Capture your heart)
I'm gonna capture your heart
(Capture your heart)
Right from the very start
(Capture your heart)
Capture your heart
(Capture your heart)
You'll never run away from me
I got you covered, wait and see
[Repeat chorus]
I'm gonna capture your heart
Right from the start
I'm gonna capture your heart
You belong to me
I'm gonna capture your heart
Right from the start
I'm gonna capture your heart
You belong to me
I'm gonna capture your heart
Right from the start
I'm gonna capture your heart
You belong to me...

If you like this you would love their first album. It's a lost and little known classic. I brought it when I was eighteen. I'm sixty four now and still give it a spin. Great stuff.

Such a gorgeous band. Why did they not get more recognition in the 70’s? I didn’t know about them then. Why?
