It was the strangest romance
We met at a dance in july
He came with somebody else
So did i
It was the strangest romance
He came to the dance to forget
Someone he loved
But he couldn't forget
He told me the story
Of how they had departed
And i understood very well
My heart was aching
For him it was breaking
For i had the very same story to tell
It was the strangest romance
Heaven was watching above
For when the dance ended
We were in love
