RONAN LYRICS - Taylor Swift (Stand Up To Cancer - Taylor Swift Charitable Fund)

Dear Lord, she’s number 1 again!

Taylor Swift debuted a heartfelt ballad called ‘Ronan’ last night (Sept. 7) at the ‘Stand Up to Cancer’ telethon. It was the first time that the song was ever performed publicly. Taylor wrote the song for a little boy named Ronan, 4, who died of cancer last year. Swift co-wrote the song with the little boy’s mother, Maya Thompson, after reading one of her blog entries. All proceeds from the song will be donated to cancer charities via the Taylor Swift Charitable Fund.

RONAN LYRICS

I remember your bare feet down the hallway

I remember your little laugh

Race cars on the kitchen floor

Plastic dinosaurs, I love you to the moon and back

I remember your blue eyes looking into mine like we had our own secret club

I remember you dancing before bed time then jumping on me waking me up

I can still feel you hold my hand

Little man, from even that moment I knew

You fought it hard like an army guy

Remember I leaned in and whispered to you

Chorus:

Come on baby with me

We're gonna fly away from here

You were my best four years

I remember the drive home when the blind hope

Turned to crying and screaming, "Why?"

Flowers piled up in the worst way

No one knows what to say about a beautiful boy who died

And it's about to be Halloween

You could be anything you wanted if you were still here

I remember the last day when I kissed your face

I whispered in your ear

Come on baby with me

We're gonna fly away from here

Out of this curtained room in this hospital

We'll just disappear

Come on baby with me

We're gonna fly away from here

You were my best four years

What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you?

What if I kept the hand me downs you won't grow into?

And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through?

But what if the miracle was even getting one moment with you

Come on baby with me

We're gonna fly away from here

Come on baby with me

We're gonna fly away from here

You were my best four years

I remember your bare feet down the hallway

I love you to the moon and back
