 Then she looked  at me
 Then she laughed  at me
 Then she lifted her glass  to me
 And the rest  they say is history
 I said that girl  in the corner
She  looks so pretty
 Oh the girls  all around  her
 She makes  'em look plain
Lady  I need a drink
 Can I bring  you another
 I'm hoping  these bubbles
 They might  know her name
 Well she looked  at me
 Then she laughed  at me
 Then she lifted her glass  to me
 And the rest  they say is history
 But when  I returned
 Champagne  in my hands
There  stood two strangers
 Where we  both did stand
 And the lady  was gone
 And the evening  wore on
 And the girl  in the corner
 Was never  alone
 But she looked  at me
 And she smiled  at me
 But she turned her eyes away  from me
 And the rest  they say is history
Tim  he was tall
 And Susan  was smart
 And Francis  she looked
 Like a fine  work of art
Melissa  was sad
 But that  made her sweet
 And Dan  and Elaine
 Had the world  at their feet
Debra  had Pliny
Lisa  had Tony
 And the girl  in the corner
 She could've had  anybody
Richard  was cool
 And Tubb  he was funny
 And the  tarot card lady
 She had everyone's money
 So I said  my goodbyes
 When it came  time to leave
 And as  I walked out
 Someone pulled  at my sleeve
 She said honey  we never did officially  meet
But  I sure am happy  you came
 She said that girl  in the corner
 She's more  than pretty
 And man  you're not the first
 To look over  her way
 But if  you still wanted
 I could  introduce  you
 But you  never will be the same
