Love Story by Taylor Swift

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

Chorus:
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 cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little whi..ile
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 beggin' you please don't go and I said

CHORUS-

Romeo save me, they're tryin' 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
Wonderin' if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is 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...

 A good friend of mine recommended this song. When I heard her singing the song for the first time, it didn't have much of an impact.

Obviously the characters Romeo and Juliet is taken from Sir William Shakespeare's play. We are all too familiar with the star-crossed lovers theme. This theme has been used and re-used over and over again(read:Gemini by Spongecola (not a big fan of the band)). Although time has passed, I still believe that the star-crossed drama still prevails. Still, parents aren't great "fans" of their daughter's boyfriend. Trust me, I know.

Well, let me start on the connection. Watch the video of Love Story. And if you are true romantic, a big supporter of English(pertaining to Great Britain not to the universal language) literature, and still a die hard lover...this is a tearjerker.

As much as believe in fairies, I believe in love.
