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

Though not a single word was spoken

I could tell you knew

That unfelt clasp of hands

Told me so well that you knew

I never lived at all

Until the thrill of that moment

When my heart stood still

(That unfelt clasp of hands)

(Told me how well you knew)

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)

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
