My Heart Stood Still {From One Dam Thing After Another/A Connecticut Ya

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 un-felt 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

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
