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

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

Who knows how long I've loved you

You know I love you still

Will I wait a lonely lifetime?

If you want me to, I will

And if I ever saw you

I didn't catch your name

But it never really mattered

I will always feel the same

Love you forever and forever

Love you with all my heart

Love you whenever we're together

Love you when we're apart

And when at last I find you

Your song will fill the air

Sing it loud so I can hear you

Make it easy to be near you

For the things you do endear you to me

Oh, you know I will

Who knows how long I've loved you

You know I love you still

Will I wait a lonely lifetime?

If you want me to, I will

And if I ever saw you

I didn't catch your name

But it never really mattered

I will always feel the same

Love you forever and forever

Love you with all my heart

Love you whenever we're together

Love you when we're apart

And when the night is cloudy

There is still a light that shines on me

Shine on until tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music,

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, yeah, let it be

Oh, there will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, yeah, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

When I found myself in time of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

In my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whiper words of wisdom, let it be

When the broken-hearted people

living in the world agree

There will be an answer, let it be

For though they may be parted

There is still a chance they will see

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be

In a couple of years, they have built a home, a sweet home

With a couple of kids running in the yard, Desmond and Molly Jones

Happy ever after in the market place, Desmond lets the children lend a hand

Molly stays at home and does her pretty face

And in the evening she is a singer in the band

Obladi Oblada life goes on bra

La la how the life goes on

Desmond has a barrow in the market place, Molly is the singer in a band

Desmond says to Molly "Girl, I like your face" and Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

Obladi Oblada life goes on bra~

La la how the life goes on

Desmond takes a trolly to the jewelers store, buys a twenty carat golden ring

Takes it back to Molly at the door and as he gives it to her she begins to sing

Obladi Oblada life goes on bra~

La la how the life goes on

Last night I said these words to my girl

I know you never even try, girl

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Please me, please me oh yeah like I please you

You don't need me to show the way, love

Why do I always have to say love

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Please me, please me oh yeah like I please you

I don't wanna sound complaining

But you know there is always rain in my heart

I do all the pleasing with you

It's so hard to reason with you oh yeah why do you make me blue

Last night I said these words to my girl

I know you never even try, girl

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Please me, please me oh yeah like I please you

You don't need me to show the way, love

Why do I always have to say love

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Please me, please me oh yeah like I please you
