Well she was just 17
You know what i mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could i dance with another
And i saw her standin' 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
I'd i saw her standin' there.

Well, my heart went boom,
When i crossed that room,
And i held her hand in mine

Whoah, 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
Since i saw her standing there
