这首曲子献给我的小女儿Sarah，7岁的小可爱Sarah。她很喜欢这首Taylor Swift的歌。有一次我们在汽车里听，她对我说：“爸，这里是我最喜欢的一段。就像是…… 这里的剧情有关键的转变。男生被刻薄的父亲吓坏了，他好像再也不会回来了。女生就要完全失去希望的时候，男生回来了，并对她说，嘿，我和你爸谈过了…… 他问了那个问题，说，快去去穿婚纱吧，就这样…… ”

这里是Sarah最喜欢的一段，当我再编这段曲子的时候，我试着把它扩展开来……

然后我突然就觉得，这儿就应该跳到Coldplay的 Viva La Vida（笑）… 于是就有了这首Love Story遇上Viva La Vida。

We were both young, when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I’m standing there, on a balcony of summer air

I see the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You 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 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, because we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Oh, Ohhh

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 begging you, please don’t go…
And I said

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

Romeo save me, they’re trying 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, Ohhh…

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 kneels 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-you’ll pick the white dress
It’s a love story, baby just say…yes…
Oh, Ohhh… Oh, Oh, Ohhh…
We were both young when I first saw you.
