"Ronan" lyrics
"Ronan"
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
And even the moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guy
Remember I leaned in and whispered to you
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 pile 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
And whispered in your ear
Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here
Out of this curtained room in this hospital grey, 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?
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

Writer(s): Taylor Swift, Maya Maria Thompson
This song was written based on a blog Taylor Swift read about a four-year-old boy, Ronan Thompson, who died from neuroblastoma in 2011. Quotes from blog creator Maya Thompson, Ronan's mother, were used to write these lyrics.
All proceeds from sales of the single go to help fight cancer.
The song was first performed by Taylor Swift live for Stand Up to Cancer telethon in September 2012.
Taylor Swift invited Maya Thompson, the mother of a deceased boy, to her concert at the Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, Arizona, to meet her and to say that she wrote a song about him. Thompson said addressing her late son, "The tears started pouring down my cheeks as soon as I heard her say those words. But her words didn't stop there. Not only did she write a song for you, but she wanted to know if it would be alright to perform it on the nationally televised show."

Hot Chelle Rae - "Why Don't You Love Me" See I can't wake up I'm living a nightmare
That keeps playing over again
Locked in a room so hung up on you
And you're cool with just being friends
Left on the sidelines
Stuck at a red light
Waiting...
ZAYN - "rEaR vIeW" Can your heart be mine in search?
'Cause I have no time to help you find
All the words
Melodies and memories
Stories that sound absurd
I will tell no lies
As long as you look me in the eyes
I'll go...
Shawn Mendes - "Honest" Oh, yeah
Hey, how's it going?
Can you meet me down on Adelaide Street?
Can you talk for a moment?
There's no way to say this that easily
And everything I said, I swear I meant it
I need to tell you...
Louis Tomlinson - "Two Of Us" It's been a minute since I called you
Just to hear the answerphone
Yeah, I know that you won't get this
But I'll leave a message so I'm not alone
This morning I woke up still dreaming
With memories...
FINNEAS - "I Lost A Friend" I lost a friend
Like keys in a sofa
Like a wallet in the backseat
Like ice in the summer heat
I lost a friend
Like sleep on a red-eye
Like money on a bad bet
Like time worrying about every bad thing...
