Saw a girl out walkin' in a summer dress,
Strawberry hair pulled back tight
The way she moved, had a certain groove,
Lord she was something outta sight;
Our eyes met just for a moment,
As she was crossing the street,
I stared awhile, It made her smile,
Seemed like a perfect way to meet;
Somewhere a song was on the radio,
Thought it was perfect for a dance,
The way she looked, set the hook,
I said "What the hell," and took the chance;
She let out a laugh in her summer dress,
Stepped in so I could hold her tight,
Some people stared, but most just didn't care,
They just went on with their night;
Reached for the band that held her hair up,
Let it fall gently all around,
And when we whirled, it softly twirled,
Like it was dancin' to the sound;
Before too long the song was over,
While I was wishin' for more time
She pulled away ever so gently,
While her hand slipped out of mine,
I let her hand slip out of mine,
And she went her way, I went mine.
