my heart stood still

James Taylor

I laughed at sweethearts I met at schools
All indiscreet hearts seemed romantic fools
A house in Iceland it was my heart's domain
I see 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 secret touch 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 secret touch of hands told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment when my heart stood still
Oh that moment when my heart stood still
