Lyrics
Let's sing along with the lyrics!
Well, she was just seventeen,
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,
Oh when 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,
Oh when 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,
Oh since I saw her standing there.
Oh since I saw her standing there.
