The story starts, it was a late November night
She had a flower in her hair, he had his uniform on tight
He patrolled his watch, (1)________ nothing (2)________ was wrong
She danced by him with her face as pale as dawn

He looked into her eyes and saw nothing there
He said, "excuse me señorita, but I don't believe we've had the pleasure"
She said "of course you know me, I'm here every year,
but don't you get to close (3)________ I'm dancing my dear"

He thought, "how can I not fall in love with that,
