In Sonnet 61 by Francesco Petrarch, the narrator is in love and feels only wonderful feelings about Laura and everything around him.  The song "I Get Carried Away" by George Straight is similar to this sonnet because if these characteristics.

The fourth line of Sonnet 61 is "By two pure eyes I found me prisoner," describing the entranced feeling he gets when he looks at her eyes.  George Strait sings, "I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes before I even realize the ride I'm on- baby I'm long gone."  These lines both describe how they feel when they look into their love's eyes.  The sonnet also shows him describing how beautiful the "day, month, year, season, hour, land, and place" they met , yet they are all rather ordinary to everyone else.  The song says," It might seem like an ordinary night, same 'ol stars the same'ol moon up high, but when I see you standing at your door, nothings ordinary anymore."  The love of their lives makes everything that is normal and ordinary turn beautiful and special.

This song by George Strait is expressing the same universal feelings of love turning everything beautiful, but it is stated with a more modern use of words.
