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 and through   "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 devine   Zing! Went the strings of 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 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 devine   Zing! Oh, oh, oh went the strings of my heart
