My Heart Stood Still

[OSUSprinks]

Alright I have been carrying this one around in my head for a couple days. There is a story here, a great one, one with a twist, but I cannot seem to find it for the life of me. So, I am releasing it into the wilderness hoping it is taken in by one of your lovely muses.

Lyrics:

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!

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

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 didn't find a version that used all the lyrics, so you wouldn't have to either...

Dorothy Collins version, which I really enjoy... www.youtube.com/watch?v=63USHAggfTw

Edit: Adam tells me that not every one is as up on their women's history as I am so I should help with a reference. Elinor Glyn is the Missus Glyn referred to in the lyric.
