Julian Ovenden My Heart Stood Still song lyrics

I laughed at sweethearts I met at school,

all indiscreet hearts seemed romantic fools.

A house in Iceland was my heart's domain,

I saw 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 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.
