My Heart Stood Still (1952 Version) Lyrics

My Heart Stood Still (1952 Version) lyrics

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 lips could move and talk

My feet could walk and walk

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
