I Saw Here Standing There

Lyrics & Music: John Lennon & Paul McCartney (1962)

Performed by:  The Beatles

 

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, (Ooh)

And 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)

And I saw her standing there.

 

Well, my heart went "boom",

When I crossed that room,

And I held her hand in mine...

 

Whoa, 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.

Well, my heart went "boom",

When I crossed that room,

And I held her hand in mine...

 

Whoa, 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.

Ooh Since I saw her standing there.

Yeah well, Since I saw her standing there.
