My Heart Stood Still

Lyrics：Lorenz Hart

Music：Richard Rodgers

Arranger：Nelson Riddle

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!
