My Heart Stood Still
When Eyes Meet: A Symphony of Hearts by Rod Stewart
Lyrics
I laughed at sweethearts
I found amusement in the romantic endeavors of others.
I met at schools
Encountered lovers during my school days.
All indiscreet hearts
Those with indiscreet hearts appeared as foolish romantics.
Seemed romantic fools
Observing a house in Iceland symbolizing the domain of my heart.
A house in Iceland
Your gaze transformed my heart's realm; dreams of castles in Spain emerged.
Was my heart's domain
Upon seeing your eyes, aspirations and fantasies materialized.
I saw your eyes
Recognition of a transformative moment in the eyes of the other.
Now castles rise in Spain!
Imaginary castles of love and romance manifested.
I took one look at you
Upon first glance at you, my initial intention.
That's all I meant to do
My intentions extended only to a brief look.
And then my heart stood still
Yet, unexpectedly, my heart experienced a profound stillness.
My feet could step and walk
Despite the stillness of my heart, physical actions were unaffected.
My lips could move and talk
Moving and talking became inconsequential as my heart stood still.
And yet my heart stood still
The paradox of a static heart amid physical dynamism.
Though not a single word was spoken
Silence prevailed, yet a mutual understanding existed.
I could tell you knew
Your unspoken awareness of the shared sentiment.
That unfelt clasp of hands
The non-verbal connection of clasped hands conveyed profound understanding.
Told me so well you knew
Confirmation through touch that you comprehended deeply.
I never lived at all
Prior to this moment, life lacked fulfillment.
Until the thrill of that moment when
The excitement of that particular moment defined my existence.
My heart stood still
A repetition of the profound stillness experienced by the heart.
Though not a single word was spoken
Reiteration of the silent understanding between two individuals.
I could tell you knew
Recognition of the unspoken connection and comprehension.
That unfelt clasp of hands
Confirmation through the unfelt clasp of hands.
Told me so well you knew
Expressing profound understanding through tactile communication.
I never lived at all
A realization that life lacked completeness before this moment.
Until the thrill of that moment when
Highlighting the significance of the thrilling moment experienced.
My heart stood still
Repetition of the heart's stillness in that transformative moment.
All that moment when
A lingering echo of the profound stillness in the heart.
My heart stood still
Reiteration of the moment when the heart stood still.
My heart stood still
A resounding acknowledgment of the enduring stillness of the heart.
My heart stood still
A final affirmation of the lasting impact on the heart.
