My Heart Stood Still2 1927 Jessie Matthews

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 16 Nov 2002

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 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.
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.
Through all my schooldays,
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.
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.
