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

[Verse 3:] He told me the story
Of how they had departed
And I understood very well

[Verse 4] My heart was aching
For him it was breaking
For I had the very same story to tell

[Verse 5] It was the strangest romance
Heaven was watching above
For when the dance ended
We were in love

[Repeat verse 3] [Repeat verse 4] [Repeat verse 5]
