I Saw Her Standing There
Elton John; John Lennon Lyrics

Well, she was just seventeen
The girl was only 17 years old

You know what I mean
The singer assumes the listener knows that being young is a time for exploration

And the way she looked was way beyond compare
The girl was stunningly beautiful

So how could I dance with another (Ooh)
The artist couldn't dance with anyone else because he was mesmerized by the girl

When I saw her standing there
This line repeats that the artist was in awe of the girl he saw standing before him

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
The girl looked at the singer and he knew that it was destined for them to meet

That before too long I'd fall in love with her
The singer knew he was going to fall in love with the girl

She wouldn't dance with another (Whooh)
The girl was only interested in dancing with the artist

Well, my heart went "boom"
The artist's heart rate increased rapidly

When I crossed that room
The moment the artist approached the girl, his heart started pounding

And I held her hand in mine...
The singer held the girl's hand in his own, signifying intimacy and connection

Whoah, we danced through the night
The artist and the girl danced together all night long

And we held each other tight
The singer and the girl embraced each other closely

And before too long I fell in love with her
As expected, the singer fell in love with the girl

Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)
The singer will only dance with the girl he fell in love with

Since I saw her standing there
Reiterating that the artist was completely captivated by the girl he saw standing there
