Your Heart Skips a Beat by Jessie Matthews Lyrics
(Verse)
[DICKY]
Life is just a storybook from the day we're born
When we learn to cry
Until the day we die
We learn to walk, to talk, to tell the truth
[KAY]
And maybe an occasional lie
[DICKY]
As we turn each page
We learn with age
That life is a stage
And we all play a part
The story reaches its climax when you fall in love and lose your heart
(Chorus)
[DICKY]
You nonchalantly go along
Completely unaware
It's just another ordinary day
You meet
A sweet
Who sweeps you off your feet
Your heart skips a beat
And runs away
[KAY]
You can't recall a tender song
To show how much you care
You can't think of a single thing to say
You're weak
So meek
You talk, but you don't speak
Your heart skips a beat
And runs away
[DICKY]
It may be Tuesday or Sunday
Thursday or Monday
Love never warns you at all
[KAY]
It may be August, September
April, November
[DICKY]
Winter
[KAY]
Summer
[DICKY]
Spring, you're sure to fall
No matter what you've planned to do
When Cupid speaks, you've got your cue
[KAY]
You're just another actor in a play
You love, you sing
When someone pulls a string
[DICKY]
There's nothing left to do but just obey
When your heart skips a beat
And runs away
[KAY]
You nonchalantly go along
Completely unaware
It's just another ordinary day
You meet
A sweet
Who sweeps you off your feet
Your heart skips a beat
And runs away
[DICKY]
I can't recall a tender song
To show how much I care
I can't think of a single thing to say
[KAY]
You're weak
So meek
You talk, but you don't speak
Your heart skips a beat
And runs away
[DICKY]
It may be Tuesday or Sunday
Thursday or Monday
Love never warns you at all
[KAY]
It may be August, September
April, November
[DICKY]
Winter
[KAY]
Summer
[DICKY]
Spring, you're sure to fall
No matter what you've planned to do
When Cupid speaks, you've got your cue
[KAY]
You're just another actor in a play
You love, you sing
When someone pulls a string
[DICKY]
There's nothing left to do but just obey
[DICKY AND KAY]
When your heart skips a beat
And runs away
[DICKY]
Life is just a storybook from the day we're born
When we learn to cry
Until the day we die
We learn to walk, to talk, to tell the truth
[KAY]
And maybe an occasional lie
[DICKY]
As we turn each page
We learn with age
That life is a stage
And we all play a part
The story reaches its climax when you fall in love and lose your heart

To show how much you care
You can't think of a single thing to say
You're weak
So meek
You talk, but you don't speak
Your heart skips a beat
And runs away
