My Heart Stood Still
(Sung to the tune "My Heart Stood Still")

I glanced at CNN,
And then I looked again.
That's when my heart stood still.

The terror had begun –
I fled on Air Force One
And still my heart stood still.

Though not a single word was spoken,
   I could tell they knew –
That clammy clasp of hands
   was hard to misconstrue.

I couldn't hurry back –
They might just re-attack
While my frightend heart stood still.
