My Heart Stood Still

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
