Johnston, Daniel - I Saw Her Standing There Lyrics






Well, she was just
Well, she was just seventeen
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 seventeen
And I know what you 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

    No wonder the Beatle broke up. After hearing this bull crap.

    L.... d....

    Daniel is born in 1961 so i doubt he started in 1970 :)

    @Instantlybent hahaha he is embarrassing himself!

    @paulinekooks "Forgive them, for they know not..." You people are obviously unaware of who this gentle soul is, and how his life and music has touched thousands and thousands of hearts all over the world. One would do well, and learn a bit of history to Google it. Start with "True Love will find you in the End" on Youtube. But before you do, read about his life story. And if, afterwards, you have the same opinion, then you are on your own from there...

    Marc Williams well you must misunderstanding my comment as I’m a huge fan of Dan since a longtime. So very moved by his art and the human himself. I’ve just watched the documentary « The Devil and Daniel Johnston » again. Everyone who dislike him are just soulless to me.

    L.... d....

    @paulinekooks My mistake. Glad to know. Evidently it was Lyle Douglas (above) that was in need of the information. Carry on...

    Simply stop what I was doing and listen.

    Best Beatles cover ever. Nobody melts the heart like Danny <3

    Very heartfelt gentleness. I love it.
