Rodgers & Hart — 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
