Today's song is Love Story by Taylor Swift. This is the song that got me listening to Taylor and becoming a fan. Prior to this song, while there were only one or two songs she had released, I wasn't a fan at all. Once I heard this song and even saw the video, I really started appreciating her music and her talent not only as a musician but as a person.
Today, Taylor Swift is always my most played artist on any sites that offer you a look back at your stats for the month or the year. It's been like that for years and will likely continue to be like that going forward.
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
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And 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"
