Words and Music by Taylor Swift
4/4 time
Andante Q=82
Intro: | Ab | Cm |
(eighth note strumming pattern)
There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face
All I can say, is that it was enchanting to meet you
You're eyes whispered 'have we met?'
Crossed the room, your sillohuette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
Electric guitar fill:
E E Q Q Q
CHORUS:
This night is sparkling
Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck
Blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
The lingering question kept me up
2 AM, who do you love?
I wonder till I'm wide awake
I know I'm pacing back and forth
Wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say 'hey'
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I know is that I was enchanted to meet you
CHORUS:
This night is sparkling
Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck
Blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless
Don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck
Dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

This is me praying now
This was the very first page
Not where the storyline ends
My thoughts will echo your name
Until I see you again
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you
Please, don't be in love with someone else
Please, don't have somebody waiting on you
Please, don't be in love with someone else
Please, don't have somebody waiting on you
(REPEAT 2ND REFRAINED CHORUS)
Please, don't be in love with someone else
Please, don't have somebody waiting on you
