VERSE 1 HE :

I laughed at sweethearts
I met at schools;
All indiscreet hearts
Seemed romantic fools.
A house in Iceland
Was my heart's domain.
I saw your eyes;
Now castles rise in Spain!

REFRAIN

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 the thrill
Of that moment when
My heart stood still.

VERSE 2 SHE :

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!
