my heart stood still

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 missus glyn!

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

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 that thrill of that moment when

my heart stood still
