My Heart Stood Still

I laughed at sweethearts

I met at schools

All indiscreet hearts

Seemed romantic fools

A house in Iceland

Was my heart's domain

I saw your eyes

Now castles rise in Spain!



I took one look at you

That's all I meant to do

And then my heart stood still

My feet could step and walk

My lips could move and talk

And yet my heart stood still



Though not a single word was spoken

I could tell you knew

That unfelt clasp of hands

Told me so well you knew

I never lived at all

Until the thrill of that moment when

My heart stood still



Though not a single word was spoken

I could tell you knew

That unfelt clasp of hands

Told me so well you knew

I never lived at all

Until the thrill of that moment when

My heart stood still

All that moment when

My heart stood still

My heart stood still

My heart stood still
