The morning IPOD was dream dropping last night and woke me with one of the All American Songbook's love songs written by the incomparable team of Rogers and Heart for the 1927 show A Connecticut Yankee. I'm glad that Rod Stewart is recording the songbook so that these wonderful songs get a new lease on life.
I would have drifted back to dreamland but the stomping cat feet on my puss had meal plans.
"My Heart Stood Still"
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
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
All that moment when
My heart stood still
My heart stood still
My heart stood still

That is a great song to be dreaming about. Rod Stewart's voice is still so awesome. I think he is better than he was years ago.
My cats do the same thing in the morning. They sit on top of me meowing until we get up.
I've never listened to too much Rogers & Hart, always been more of a Rodgers & Hammerstein kind of gal but I do like a good song when I hear it - no matter who wrote it!
