I have a watch with this expression: You made my heart, I would like to understand the meaning. Thank's.
Oh, unless there was no room for "You make my heart start a-trembling, whenever you're around."
I note that all that the lyrics sites (that I bothered checking) write "start to trembling" rather than "start a-trembling". But that doesn't make sense, so I'm sticking to my version. She also sings, "I just a-lose control" and "sky a-tumbling down ..."
Is "start to <verb>ing" a legitimate American folk phrase? I know "a<verb>ing" is.

Hi.
Please note I'm not a teacher nor a native speaker.
My take on it would be along [STRIKE]thouse[/STRIKE] these lines:
The watch goes tick-tock and someone can make your [STRIKE]hard[/STRIKE] heart go tick-tock.
Cheers.
