Song: Love Story -- Taylor Swift

Getting busy this week, and I am finding little time to do my usual researches, but one movie I recently watched called "Valentine's Day" gave me a tip which made me realise that Taylor Swift really does consistently sing great songs, thus my recommendation of her song today.

I find this song particular meaningful as it tells a complete story of Taylor and her love at first sight in a way that resembles Romeo and Juliet's. The song includes dialogs between the girl, the boy and the girl's father, and describes every little bit of feeling of a young teenage girl's determination, passion, anticipation, confusion and eventually joy. It is neither a simple song nor simple lyrics to write. The story proceeds step-by-step, reaching climax at the chorus. I particularly like the youthfulness in her voice.

What's this great song like?

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
I 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 theres left to do is run
you’ll be the prince and i’ll be the princess
its 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 know
so close your eyes
lets escape this town for a little while
cause you were romeo i was a scarlet letter
and my daddy said stay away from juliet
but you were everything to me
and i was begging you please don’t go and i said

romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
i’ll be waiting all theres left to do is run
you be the prince and i’ll be the princess
its a love story baby just say yes

romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
this love is difficult, but its real
don’t be afraid we’ll make it out of this mess
its 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 thats all I really know
i talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
its a love story baby just say yes
oh, oh,
we were both young when i first saw you
