My Heart Stood Still

Writer(s): rodgers/hart





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



Through all my school days

I hated boys

Those april fool days

Brought me loveless joys

I read my plato

Love, i thought a sin

But since your kiss

I'm reading missus glyn!
