<Intro>

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, 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 blue again

What else could I do again

Keep repeating through again

"I love you, love you"

 

I still recall the thrill, guess I always will

I hope 'twill never depart

All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony

Zing! Went the strings of my heart

 

<instrumental>

 

Your eyes made skies blue again

What else could I do again?

Keep repeating through again

"I love you, I do love you"

 

I still recall the thrill, I guess that I always will

I hope 'twill never depart

All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony

Zing! Went the strings of my heart
