Love Story

We were both young, when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air.

I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello, little did I know...

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
begging you, "Please don't go..."

And I said...Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh.

Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"
but you were everything to me
I was begging you, "Please don't go"

And I said...Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, Oh.

I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said...Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...
Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad -- go pick out a white dress

It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
'cause we were both young when I first saw you


Taylor Swift 2008



Taylor Swift is a 19 year old with a big voice. I warned Rick I was changing pace on him. Let's take a dip into country music. Taylor Swift is one of the only country artists I really like. I think she has a great voice and is a great song writer. Taylor has been performing and writing since she was ten years old.



The lyrics of this song are a simple, sweet love song. The song makes me think of forbidden love. The boy your parents hated, the girtl your friends never liked. The one love you knew you couldn't have but loved them anyway. I think most people have experienced this at some point. The crazy thing about love is it is the most powerful force in the world yet it is the one we have the least control over. No one can determine who they are going to fall in love with. No one can control who loves them. All we can do is cherish the love we have and guard it with our lives.

Sorry this is so long in the making, I though I posted it :-) It's been a crazy week!
