I was standing there
It was hardly fair
For my heart had no warning at all
He just gave me a smile
Then we danced for a while
And I lost my heart at the ball
As we danced, we swayed
And I felt afraid
For my heart said, Get ready to fall
So I tried to be wise
But I looked in his eyes
And I lost my heart at the ball
I said to my heart as we danced around
Behave, stop acting this way
And when I started to leave
I found my heart determined to stay
Now my heart has flown
And I'm left alone
With a memory that's sweet to recall
So I'll never regret
The evening we met
When I lost my heart at the ball
