He patrolled his watch, like nothing (1)________ 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 seƱorita, but I don't (2)______________ we've had the pleasure"
She said "of course you know me, I'm here every year,

He thought, "how can I not fall in love with that,
a pretty little (3)__________ with an attitude to match"
He reached for her hand, and she wasn't impressed,
