My Heart Stood Still ~
1952 Version
I laughed at sweethearts, I met at
schools
All indiscrete 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 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!
