创作背景
泰勒对亚当·扬一见钟情,写下这首美丽缱绻的歌,自述自己萌生的情愫。更令人惊奇的是,亚当听出了其中的密语A-D-A-M,并在2011年的情人节,改编了该歌曲做出了回应。
“我该会是第一个承认自己比较害羞的男孩吧,因为音乐才是我可以拿得出手的最真实生动的方式。我决定为你录一些东西——就作为对你新专辑里那首令我激动万分的歌曲的回应吧。”他写道,“你就像是一个从梦幻般的童话故事里走出来的公主,最重要的,我只想让你知道,我也对你着了迷。”亚当说。
亚当在歌曲末尾特地标注了:"And I just wish you knew,Taylor I was so in love with you.
然而在亚当完成了歌曲的改编回应之后,泰勒没有再回应亚当,这一点在亚当的访谈中被提到。
这首歌听来让人荡气回肠——不管你们有没有在一起,结局已不再重要。我心中挂念的一直是你,这才是我一生所念。
Verse 1
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 it was enchanting to meet you
Your eyes whispered "Have we met?"
Across the room, your silhouette
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
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
Verse 2
the lingering question kept me up
2 am, who do you love?
I wonder 'til I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth
Wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say
It was enchanting to meet you
AlI I know is 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
Bridge
This is me praying that
This was the very first page
Not where the story line 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
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
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
