D  D9   D   G  G7M G6 
I took one look at you 
D      D9  D   G  G7M G6 
That's all I meant to do 
D    G   D   G/B  A7/9    D    Bm7 Bb9 A7 
And then my heart stood still! 
D  D9    D     G   G7M G6 
My feet could step and walk 
D   D9    D    G   G7M G6 
My lips could move and talk 
D    G  D   G/B  A7/9    D 
And yet my heart stood still 
Dm        D9 Dm               
Though not a single word was spoken 
        Gm  Fdim  A7 
I could tell you knew  
Dm      D9   Dm 
That unfelt clasp of hands  
           A7/13- A7 
Told me so well you knew 
D  D9   D   G   G7M G6 
I nev - er lived at all 
D    D9   D    G   G7M  G6 
Un - til the thrill of that  
D     G    D   Em7 G/B    A7/9    D 
Moment when my heart stood still
