Oh My My



Not only has 18-year-old Taylor Swift broken records (youngest person to write all the songs on her triple-platinum self titled debut album at age 16) but she has written music that is so relatable to every person has this planet that has some form of emotions. From the girl with a crush on a guy to the bad boyfriend to the perfect relationships to the girls who aren't just fitting in they way the wish they were. Her second album is due out in the fall and many of the tracks are availble as live concert performances on youtube.



If you have even a smidgen of free time, go on youtube or itunes and take a listen. You won't regret it.

But to me, one song hits home more than any other. This song was written for her nieghbors, but to me this song is an almost perfect description of my life.

To me, the memories are different and I don't feel like rambling on to explain it, but the lyrics are all below (and just a little bit messed up).

She said, I was seven and you were nineI looked at you like the stars that shinedIn the sky, the pretty lightsAnd our daddies used to joke about the two of usGrowing up and falling in love and our mamas smiledAnd rolled their eyes and said oh my my my

Take me back to the house in the backyard treeSaid you'd beat me up, you were bigger than meYou never did, you never didTake me back when our world was one block wideI dared you to kiss me and ran when you triedJust two kids, you and I...Oh my my my my

I was sixteen when suddenlyI wasn't that little girl you used to seeBut your eyes still shined like pretty lightsAnd our daddies used to joke about the two of usThey never believed we'd really fall in loveAnd our mamas smiled and rolled their eyesAnd said oh my my my...Take me back to the creek beds we turned upTwo A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to meTake me back to the time we had our very first fightThe slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnightYou stayed outside til the morning lightOh my my my my

A few years had gone and come aroundWe were sitting at our favorite spot in townAnd you looked at me, got down on one kneeTake me back to the time we walked down the aisleOur whole town came and our mamas criedYou said I do and I did tooTake me home were we met so many years beforeWe'll rock our babies on that very front porchAfter all this time, you and I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nineI'll still look at you like the stars that shineIn the sky, oh my my my...
