  • I was reminiscing just the other day
    While having coffee all alone and Lord, it took me away
    Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time
    Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme
    Took off faster than a the green light, go
    Hey, you skip the conversation when you already know
    I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made
    And that was the first day

    And darlin', it was good
    Never lookin' down
    And right there where we stood
    Was holy ground

    Spinnin' like a girl in a brand new dress
    We had this big wide city all to ourselves
    We blocked the noise with the sound of "I need you"
    And for the first time I had something to lose
    And I guess we fell apart in the usual way
    And the story's got dust on every page
    But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now
    And I see your face in every crowd

    'Cause darlin', it was good (uh-ey, uh-ey)
    Never lookin' down (uh-ey, uh-ey)
    And right there where we stood (uh-ey)
    Was holy ground (uh-ey, uh-ey, uh-ey, oh-oh)
    (Uh-ey, uh-ey, uh-ey, oh-oh)

    Tonight I'm gonna dance
    For all that we've been through
    But I don't wanna dance
    If I'm not dancing with you
    Tonight I'm gonna dance
    Like you were in this room
    But I don't wanna dance
    If I'm not dancing with you

    It was good
    Never lookin' down
    And right there where we stood
    Was holy ground (uh-ey, uh-ey, uh-ey, oh-oh)
    (Uh-ey, uh-ey, uh-ey, oh-oh)

    Tonight I'm gonna dance
    For all that we've been through
    But I don't wanna dance
    If I'm not dancing with you
    Tonight I'm gonna dance
    Like you were in this room
    But I don't wanna dance
    If I'm not dancing with you Writer/s: Taylor Alison Swift
