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
