Lyrics:

(B. Benjamin, G.D. Weiss, F. Carle) [Recorded April 30, 1963, Los Angeles] 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
