Lyrics
Dear, when you smiled at me, I heard a melody
It haunted me from the start
Something inside of me started a symphony
Zing!
Went the strings of my heart
'Twas like a breath of spring, I heard
A robin sing about a nest set apart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing!
Went the strings of my heart
Your eyes made skies seem blue again
What else could I do again?
The key repeated throughout the melody
I still recall the thrill
I guess I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody divine
Zing!
Went the strings of my heart
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
From the moment I saw him I fell
Chug, chug, chug went the motor
Bump, bump, bump went the brake
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings
When he smiled, I could feel the car shake
He tipped his hat and took a seat
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet
He asked my name, I held my breath
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death
Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer
Plop, plop, plop went the wheel
Stop went my heartstrings
As he started to leave, I took hold of his sleeve with my hand
And as if it were planned, he stayed on with me and it was grand
Just to stand with his hand holding mine 'til the end of the line
