I Saw Her Standing There

(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: McCartney





1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ! 



Well, she was just 17

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 (Ahh!)



Well, my heart went "boom"

When I crossed that room

And I held her hand in mine



Oh, we danced through the night

And we held each other tight

Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)

Since I saw her standing there

Whoah since I saw her standing there

Yeah well since I saw her standing there

I won't see her no more

It's gonna be a drag... Misery



I'll remember all the little things we've done

Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one



Send her back to me

'Cause everyone can see

Without her I will be in misery



I'll remember all the little things we've done

She'll remember and she'll miss her only one, lonely one

Now you're mine, my happiness still makes me cry

And in time, you'll understand the reason why

If I cry

It's not because I'm sad, but you're the only love that I've ever had

I can't conceive of any more misery

A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine



I dream of your first kiss, and then

I feel upon my lips again

A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine



I will return, yes I will return

I'll come back for the honey and you



Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart

There lingers still, 'though we're far apart

Where I can go

When I feel low

When I feel blue

And it's my mind

And there's no time when I'm alone



I think of you

And things you do

Go 'round my head

The things you said

Like "I love only you"



In my mind there's no sorrow

Don't you know that it's so

There'll be no sad tomorrow

Don't you know that it's so



There's a place

Where I can go

When I feel low

When I feel blue

And it's my mind

And there's no time when I'm alone



There's a place...

There's a place...

There's a place...

There's a place...
