Lyrics

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 your way through the crowd and say hel lo.

es cape this Lit tle did I 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 ’cause we’re dead if they So, close your eyes,

es cape this town for a lit 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.”

About “Love Story”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Love Story"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Love Story" by Taylor Swift played in?
Love Story is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Love Story"?
The arrangement plays at 120 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Love Story" easy to play on piano?
This is an advanced arrangement. We recommend breaking it into sections and using the speed control to drill harder passages.
Can I download sheet music for "Love Story"?

What other songs by Taylor Swift can I play here?
Try "GETAWAY CAR", "THE LAST TIME", "ENCHANTED". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Love Story" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 120 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
