I laughed at sweethearts, I met at schools

All indiscrete 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 an' 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 the thrill of that moment

when my heart stood still!



Music by Richard Rodgers
