My Heart Stood Still ~ 1948 Version
( MGM Outtake )
 
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 an' 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!
 
< instrumental break > 
 
( 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!
 
(. . . until the thrill of that moment 
when my heart stood still!)
