Went to a dance one night
                              F#m
And the beautiful music was playing
D
And through the dim blue light
                               F#m
I could just see the silhouette swaying
G                              D
Then all at once the room was aglow
G                               A
And through the couples I could see
D                                G
A pair of angel eyes and I was hypnotized
D                    A        D
They were looking straight at me

D
They played a ladies choice
                              F#m
And I could feel my heart beating madly
D
For any moment she'd ask me to dance
                 F#m
And I would say gladly
G                                    D
Then someone said would you care to dance?
G                                 A
I turned around when I heard her voice
D                                     G
But it was someone else, oh how sad I felt
D                     A      D
For I was the wrong ladies choice


A                                                           D
And when the song was through she was alone and I caught her eye
A                                                        D      Eb
I had to make my play before she'd dance with some other guy

Eb
So as the music played
                               Gm
She laid her sweet head on my shoulder
Eb
And she could see the love that I felt
                    Gm
As though I had told her
Ab                              Eb
Was someone waiting to take her home?
Ab                              Bb
I wondered who would the luck boy be?
Eb                                               Ab
And when the dance was through, all the world was new
Eb                Bb     Eb
For the ladies choice was me
Ab       Eb        Bb       Eb
Yeah, the ladies choice was me
Ab        Eb       Bb       Eb
Mmm, the ladies choice was me
