Sparks Fly (Original)

Taylor Swift · Other Songs - Taylor Swift

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm

And I'm a house of cards

You say my name for the first time, baby

And I fall in love in an empty bar



And you stood there in front of me

Just close enough to touch

Close enough to hope you couldn't see

What I was thinking of



CHORUS

Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain

Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain

Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down

Gimme something that'll haunt me when you're not around

Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile



So reach out open-handed

And lead me out to that floor

Don't need more paper lanterns

Take me down, baby bring on the movie score



Because my heart is beating fast

And you are beautiful

And I could wait patiently but

I really wish you would



CHORUS

Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain

Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain

Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down

Gimme something that'll haunt me when you're not around

Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile



I run my fingers through your hair

And watch the lights go wild

Just keep your beautiful eyes on me

We'll strike this match tonight



And lead me up the staircase

Won't you whisper soft and slow

I'm captivated by you, baby

Like a fireworks show



CHORUS

Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain

Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain

Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down

Gimme something that'll haunt me when you're not around

Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile



And the sparks fly

Oh baby, smile

And the sparks fly
