Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
'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
[Verse 3]
Your eyes make 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 hoped we'll never depart
Dear, with your lips to mine
A rhapsody devine
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
'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
[Verse 6]
Your eyes make 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 we'll never depart
Dear, with your lips to mine
A rhapsody devine
Zing, oh, oh, oh
Went the strings of my heart
