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 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
