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
