I Saw Her Standing There

OPENER
Sides face, grand square
She was just 17, you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
And how could I dance with another
When I saw her standing there
Circle left
My heart went boom when I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Allemande and promenade
So how could I dance with another
When I saw her standing there
FIGURE 1
Now the heads promenade 3/4 round the ring
The sides square thru & get me 3
You circle 4, break, make a line
Dance up to the middle and back
Touch 1/4 then, all circulate, boys run right
You pass thru and allemande left
Come back, swing & you promenade
And how could I dance with another
When I saw her standing there
FIGURE 2
Now the heads promenade 3/4 round the ring
The sides wheel around and touch 1/4
Walk & dodge, do a partner trade and then
Touch 1/4, cirulate
Boys run right, pass thru & allemande left & then
Swing that corner girl and promenade
And how could I dance with another
When I saw her (standing there)
BREAK
Sides face, grand square
Well, she looked at me and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her
Oh, she wouldn't dance with another
When I saw her standing there
Circle to the left
My heart went boom when I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Allemande and promenade
She wouldn't dance with another
When I saw her standing there
FIGURE 3
The sides reverse promenade, go 1/4
Heads do a left square thru, and get me 3 now
Everybody swing thru and the boys run
Bend the line, do a right & left thru & turn that girl
Ladies lead double pass thru
Girls go left, boys go right
Swing that corner and you promenade
She wouldn't dance with another
When I saw her standing there
FIGURE 4
Now the sides promenade, go 3/4 round that ring
Heads do the right & left thru & turn the girl
You pass thru, swing thru, & the boys run right
Bend the line, reverse the flutterwheel
Sweep 1/4, everybody pass thru
Swing that corner, promenade
She wouldn't dance with another
When I saw her standing (there)
CLOSER
Sides face, grand square
We danced thru the nite
We held each other tight
Before too long I fell in love with her
I'll never dance with another
Cause I saw her standing there
Circle to the left
My heart went boom when I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Allemande and promenade
I'll never dance with another
Since I saw her standing there
TAG
I'll never dance with another
Since I saw her standing there
