See Movie Songs page for more details


Dear, when you smiled at me
I heard a melody.
It haunted me from the start.
Something inside of me
srarted 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
but keep repeating through and through
I love you, love you!
I still recall the thrill,
I guess I always will,
I hope 'twill never depart.
I knew I loved you heaps
and you were mine for keeps.
Zing! went the strings of my heart!

(repeat)
