Story behind the song
Written and recorded in Houston Texas in 1967. This song was recently recovered from archives and became a favorite on Gene's CD titled "Watching it go" available on CD Baby.
Lyrics
What is this power you hold over me That made me a fool from the start. I never thought I could fall you see Till you laid your hands on my heart. Ive got to run, I must get away Before my respect is all gone When I try to run, my feet turn to clay And I can't seem to leave you alone. What is this power you hold over me That made me a fool from the start? I never knew what a fool I could be Till you laid your hands on my heart. When I first met you, I guess I knew Your love I never could win. Still I keep crawling right back to you So you can hurt me again. What is this power you hold over me That made me a fool from the start. If you don't love me, then please let me be And take your hands off of my heart.

Definitely my 2nd favorite GT song...(You know #1). Gene....Your vocals rip my heart out...lol! Your rare vocal style (which I define as "singing from the heart") is soulful...passionate...heartfelt and magic. It is a rare find and can not be taught. Your style sells the lyrics, makes them real and brings the song home. "Hands On My Heart" brings the listener back to "The One"...That one true love...never to be forgotten. Congrats on this beauty and thanks for sharing Gene T!
