My Heart Stood Still

My Heart Stood Still - Jessie Matthews

In he feel 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

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
