1.         I was at a dance, when he caught my eye,

                                            G7          C
    standin' all alone lookin' sad and shy.

    We began  to dance          swayin' to and fro,

              C                     G                  C
    and soon I knew I'd never let him go.

                       Oh, it all began with just one little dance,

                                                    C
                       but soon it ended up a big romance,
