Taylor Swift – Today Was A Fairytale lyrics
Today was a fairytale
You were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale
I wore a dress
You wore a dark grey t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale
You've got a smile that takes me to another planet
Every move you make everything you say is right
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
All that I can say is now it's getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense until the time I saw your face
Today was a fairytale

Time slows down whenever you're around
Yeah yeah

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

Time slows down whenever you're around
I can feel my heart
It's beating in my chest
Did you feel it?
I can't put this down

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

Oh oh oh
Yeah ohooh...

    I love this song so much. I went to her concert in corpus I'm so not lying. I was in section 105 nd for one song she came there nd she gave me a hug. If anyone was there remember the big screen for this song it had her and taylor lautner it had a heart aronud them and when they kissed paper or somethin came out. Nd she cried to one song. Nd with that song sholud've said no there was rain comin down and it said no, why, nd said somethin else. But hope you like her concerts everybody. :)

    This song's awesome! I was searching Taylor Swift on itunes and guess what?! Love story and you belong with me's popularity has gone boom! Down, wow. Maybe it's soo old? Well they were made in 2008 and they could've just gotten boring, well that's what I think.
    Well this song's said hi to love story and you belong with me then bye! And pushed their popularity down, down, down, down. Hey. This is a fairytale! Where's the fairies and goblins?
    P. S. If you're a boy out there and like's Taylor Swift's songs, don't be afraid cause my bro who's a teen and he had a party, and all (every single one!) liked Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift! Just like me.

    The song means that she feels like a princess, since she met this "amazing guy' and can feel "magic in the air" when they're with eachother. It's the classic type of love song. And don't get me wrong, it's awesome, but I feel that it doesn't really illustrate a true relationship. People shouldn't get so attached to one another, since the break-up at the end is all but inevitable.
