I Saw Her Standing There
John Lennon& Paul McCartney
(duet with Elton John)

Well she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare.

So how I could 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
Whoa, 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
Whoa, when I saw her standing there.

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
And before too long
I fell in love with her

Now I´ll never dance with another
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Oh, since I saw her standing there.

Pozn.:I Saw Her Standing There je zařazena jako první píseň na prvním albu Beatles Please Please Me z roku 1963(pokud pomineme fakt, že se nachází na záznamu z živého vystoupení Beatles v hamburgském Star Clubu). Proč si Lennon vybral tuto píseň pro své vystoupení s Eltonem Johnem v newyorské Madison Square Garden v listopadu 1974, se může zdát záhadou. Navíc tento song z raného repertoáru Beatles zpíval převážně Mc Cartney. Možná, že to byla jen pocta této písni, která se jako druhá strana singlu I Want To Hold Your Hand dostala na špičku amerických hitparád a nebo proto, že to byla jedna z pěti písní, které Beatles zahráli 9.2.1964 v rámci legendární televizní show Eda Sullivana.
