Cuando los Beatles llegaron al estudio 2 de Abbey Road el 11 de Febrero de 1963 pocos sabían de la importancia histórica de aquella fecha.
Habían estado tocando Paul y John juntos durante 6 años, se convirtieron en músicos con experiencia para tocar en vivo en Hamburgo y en The Cavern Club. Todas las canciones del disco fueron grabadas en 11 horas, finalizando con la impresionante demostración de John Lennon cantando el "Twist and Shout". Aunque la grabación inicial prevista debía realizarse en "The Cavern Club" fue descartada por obvias razones acústicas.
Lo que Paul escribió en un principio fue "She was just seventeen, never been a beauty queen". Lennon añadió "and you know what I mean". La canción era muy popular entre los públicos de la Caverna y del Star Club, y desde entonces se ha convertido en un clásico. Fue escrita originalmente en una libreta de ejercicios del "Liverpool Institute".
I Saw Her Standing There
Well, she was just seventeen,
And you know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another
And I saw her standing there.
Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another
since I saw her standin' there.
Well, my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine.
Well, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long, I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another
Since I saw her standing there
I Saw Her Standing There
Well, she was just seventeen,
And you know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another
And I saw her standing there.
Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another
since I saw her standin' there.
Well, my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine.
Well, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long, I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another
Since I saw her standing there
