My Heart Stood Still ~ 1987 Version

 

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 then 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!

 

Hmmm!
