Went to a dance one night

And the beautiful music was playing

And through the dim blue light

I could just see the silhouette swaying

Then all at once the room was aglow

And through the couples I could see

A pair of angel eyes and I was hypnotised

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'd dance 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 luck boy be?

And when the dance was through, all the world was new

For the ladies choice was me

Yeah, the ladies choice was me

Mmm, the ladies choice was me
