Richard Rodgers
My Heart Stood Still
(Verse 1)
[MAN]
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

(Chorus)
[MAN]
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
(Verse 2)
[WOMAN]
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 Mrs. Glynn

(Chorus)
[WOMAN]
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
