 Enchanted-Taylor Swift Lyrics
| 15:56 | 0 Stylish Swanks
There I was again tonight, forcing laughter, faking smilesSame old, tired place 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 1 This night is sparkling, don't you let it go I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home  I'll spend forever wondering if you knewI was enchanted to meet you The lingering question kept me up, 2 a.m., 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 All I know is I was enchanted to meet you Chorus 2 This night is sparkling, don't you let it go I'm wonder-struck, 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 wonder-struck, dancing around all alone I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you This is me praying that 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 chorus 2 Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you [ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/taylor-swift-lyrics/enchanted-lyrics.html ] Do u know Taylor Swift?
