Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

I Saw Her Standing There

Well she was just

Well she was just 17

And you know what I mean

And the way she looked was way beyond compare

So how could I dance with another

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

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

Since I saw her standing there

Well she was just

Well she was just 17

And you know what I mean

And the way she looked was way beyond compare

So how could I dance with another

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

When I saw her standing there
