never could carry a tune never knew where to start you came along when everything was wrong and put a flame in my heart never could carry a tune never knew where to start you came along when everything was wrong and put a song in my heart 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 but keep repeating through again i love you love you i still recall the thrill 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 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 dear with your lips to mine a rhapsody divine zing oh oh oh went the strings of my heart
