I Saw Her Standing There (Live at Madison Square Garden/1974) Lyrics
[Spoken Intro by John Lennon]
“I’d like to thank Elton and the boys for having me on tonight. We tried to think of a number to finish off with so I could get out of here and be safe, and we thought we’d do a number of an old estranged fiance of mine called Paul. This is one I never sang, it’s an old Beatle number and we just about know it.”
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)
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 (Whooh)
When I saw her standing 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 (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing 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 (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing there
