Richard Rodgers
My Heart Stood Still
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!

Thought not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt claps of hands
Told me so well you knew

I never lived at all
Until the trill of that moment
When my heart stood still

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!

Thought not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt claps of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the trill of that moment
When my heart stood still
