We were both young when I first saw you, I close my eyes and the flash back starts.
I’m stand in’ there,
on a bal co ny in sum mer air.
See the lights, see the par ty, the ball gowns.
See you make et your way through the crowd knew.
and say hel lo.
es cape this Lit tle did I tle know
that you were Ro me o.
I You were throw ing peb bles, and my dad dy said, “Stay a way from Ju li et.” And I was cry in’ on the stair case, was beg gin’ you, “Please don’t go.”
And I said, “Ro me o, take me some where we can be a lone, I’ll be wait ing.
All there’s left to do is run.
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the prin cess.
It’s a love sto ry.
Ba by, just say yes.”
So I sneak out to the gar den to see you.
We keep qui et ’cause we’re dead if they knew.
So, close your eyes,
es cape this town for a lit tle while.
’Cause you were Ro me o, I was the scar let let ter and my dad dy said, “Stay a way from Ju li et.” But you were ev ’ry thing to me.
I was beg gin’ you, “Please don’t go.”
And I said, “Ro me o, take me some where we can be a lone, I’ll be wait ing.
All there’s left to do is run.
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the prin cess.
It’s a love sto ry.
Ba by, just say yes.”
So Ba by, just say
yes.”
This page shows “Love Story” by Taylor Swift in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 120 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
