Well she was just seventeen and you know what I mean And the way she looked was way beyond compare So how could I dance with another oh, When I saw her standing there
Well she looked at me and I, I could see That before too long I'd fall in love with her She wouldn't dance with another, ooh When I saw her standing there
Well my heart went boom When I crossed that room And I held her hand in mine
Well we danced through the night and we held each other tight And before too long I fell in love with her Now I'll never dance with another, oh Oh, since I saw her standing there
Well my heart went boom When I crossed that room And I held her hand in mine
Oh, we danced through the night And we held each other tight And before too long I fell in love with her Now I'll never dance with another, ooh Since I saw her standing there
Oh, since I saw her standing there 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 Yeah, well, since I saw her standing there
