(James F. Hanley)

[Recorded December 20, 1960, Los Angeles]



[Intro]

Never could carry a tune, never knew where to start

You came along when everything was wrong and put a song in my heart





Dear when you smiled at me, I heard a melody

It haunted me from the start

Something inside of me started a symphony

Zing! Went the strings of my heart



'Twas like a breath of spring, heard a robin sing

About a nest set apart

All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony

Zing! Went the strings of my heart



Your eyes made skies blue again

What else could I do again

Keep repeating through again

"I love you, love you"



I still recall the thrill, guess I always will

I hope 'twill never depart

All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony

Zing! Went the strings of my heart



[instrumental]



Your eyes made skies blue again

What else could I do again?

Keep repeating through again

"I love you, I do love you"



I still recall the thrill, I guess that I always will

I hope 'twill never depart

All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony

Zing! Went the strings of my heart
