It was just a neighborhood dance
that's all that it was
but, oh, what it seemed to be
it was like a masquerade ball
with costumes and all
'cause you were at the dance with me
it was just a ride on a train
that's all that it was
but, oh, what it seemed to be
it was like a trip to the stars
to venus and mars
'cause you were on the train with me
and when i kissed you, darling
it was more than just a thrill for me
it was the promise, darling
of the things that fate had willed for me
it was just a wedding in june
that's all that it was
but, oh, what it seemed to be
it was like a royal affair
with everyone there
'cause you said "yes, i do" to me
