Ricky Nelson — Ladies Choice

Went to a dance one night And the beautiful music was playin' And through the dim blue light I could just see the silhouette swayin' Then all at once the room was aglow And through the couples I could see A pair of angel eyes, and I was hypnotized They were looking straight at me They played a ladies choice And I could feel my heart beating madly For any moment she'd ask me to dance And I would say gladly Then someone said "Would you care to dance?" I turned around when I heard her voice But it was someone else, oh how sad I felt For I was the wrong ladies choice And when the song was through She was alone and I caught her eye I had to make my play before she danced With some other guy So as the music played she laid her sweet head on my shoulder And she could see the love that I felt as though I had told her Was someone waiting to take her home I wondered who would the lucky boy be And when the dance was through All the world was new For the ladies choice was me Yes, the ladies choice was me Mmm, the ladies choice was me
