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 that 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
