ENCHANTED FOR THE NIGHT

Completely forgot how much I love this song until today when I visited the Karaoke today and I selected this song for no reasons. And then I remembered the lovely story that came along with this Enchanting song.

Taylor wrote this song for the lead singer of Owl City, Adam Young. This is one of her brilliant masterpieces that leaves a strong impact because it feels honest and real. It is not those sad "attention-seeking" songs that she pens now about her break-ups. This is about a beautiful encounter, and everyone loves a beautiful encounter. Remember the time you meet a great new friend, who becomes a really good friend.

This is to all beautiful encounters that you wish was love!



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

Totally know how this feels like; meeting people can sometimes be super tiring, especially if you know they are just not the kinda people you'd enjoy hanging out with. So yes, when a face of someone you suddenly click with appear, it can be enchanting, if not refreshing.

Your eyes whisper 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...

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

The lingering question kept me up
2AM who do you love?
I wondered till I am wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth
Wishing you were at my door
And I'd open up and you would say...
Hey it was, enchanting to meet you 
All I know is I was, 
Enchanted to meet you...

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
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


Adam Young wrote another version of this song in reply to Taylor.


I love messages in songs!
