And the sign said, 'Photos twenty five cents each

(Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) | Down the block there's an antique shop
And something in my head said stop, so I walked in
On the counter was a cardboard box
And the sign said, 'Photos twenty five cents each
Black and white, saw a thirties bride and school lovers laughing on the porch of their first house
The kinda love that you only find once in a lifetime
The kind you don't put down
And that's when I called you and it's so hard to explain, but in those photos I saw us instead
And somehow I know that you and I would've found each other
In another life, you still would've turned my head
Even if we'd met
[Chorus]
On a crowded street in 1944
And you were headed off to fight in the war
You still would've been mine
We would have been timeless
I would've read your love letters every single night
And prayed to God you'd be coming home all right
And you would've been fine
We would have been timeless
Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this
So even in a different life, you still would've still been mine
We would've been timeless
[Verse 2]
I had to smile when it caught my eye
There was one of a teenage couple on the driveway
Holding hands on the way to a dance and the date on the back said 1958
Which brought me back to the first time I saw you
Time stood still like something in this old shop
I thought about it as I started looking 'round at these precious things that time forgot
That's when I came upon a book covered in cobwebs
Story of a romance torn apart by fate
Hundreds of years ago they fell in love like we did
And I'd die for you in the same way
If I first saw your face
[Chorus]
In the fifteen hundreds off in a foreign land
And I was forced to marry another man
You still would've been mine
We would have been timeless
I would have read your love letters every single night
And run away and left it all behind
You still would've been mine
We would've been timeless
Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this
So even in a different life
You still would've been mine
We would've been timeless
[Bridge]
Time breaks down your mind and body
Don't you let it touch your soul
It was like an age old classic
The first time that you saw me
The story started when you said "hello"
In a crowded room a few short years ago
And sometimes there's no proof, you just know
You're always gonna be mine
We're gonna be...
I'm gonna love you when our hair is turning grey
We'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we made
And you'll say, "Oh my, we really were timeless"
[Chrous]
We're gonna be timeless
Timeless
You still would've been mine
We would've been
Even if we'd met on a crowded street in 1944
You still would've been mine
We would've been
[Outro]
Down the block there's an antique shop
And something in my head said stop, so I walked in
Sa block mayroong isang antigong tindahan
At may sinabi sa aking ulo na huminto, kaya lumakad ako papasok
Sa counter ay isang kahon ng karton
At sinabi ng tanda, 'Mga larawan dalawampu't limang sentimo bawat isa
Itim at puti, nakakita ng isang thirties na ikakasal at mga mahilig sa paaralan na tumatawa sa beranda ng kanilang unang bahay
Ang mabait na pag -ibig na matatagpuan mo lamang minsan sa isang buhay
Ang uri na hindi mo inilalagay
At iyon ay kapag tinawag kita at napakahirap ipaliwanag, ngunit sa mga larawang iyon nakita ko kami sa halip
At kahit papaano alam ko na ikaw at ako ay may mahahanap na isa't isa
Sa ibang buhay, ibabalik mo pa rin ang ulo ko
Kahit na magkita kami
[Koro]
Sa isang masikip na kalye noong 1944
At pupunta ka upang lumaban sa digmaan
Ikaw pa rin ang magiging akin
Kami ay walang tiyak na oras
Babasahin ko na ang iyong mga titik ng pag -ibig tuwing gabi
At nanalangin sa Diyos na uuwi ka na ba ng maayos
At magiging maayos ka
Kami ay walang tiyak na oras
Sanhi naniniwala ako na dapat nating hanapin ito
Kaya kahit na sa ibang buhay, magiging akin pa rin ako
Kami ay walang oras
[Taludtod 2]
Kailangan kong ngumiti nang mahuli ko ang aking mata
May isa sa isang tinedyer na mag -asawa sa driveway
Ang paghawak ng mga kamay sa daan patungo sa isang sayaw at ang petsa sa likod ay sinabi noong 1958
Na nagbalik sa akin sa unang pagkakataon na nakita kita
Ang oras ay tumayo pa rin tulad ng isang bagay sa lumang shop na ito
Naisip ko ito habang nagsimula akong maghanap ng 'pag -ikot sa mga mahahalagang bagay na ito na nakalimutan
Doon ako nakarating sa isang libro na sakop sa cobwebs
Kuwento ng isang pag -iibigan na napunit ng kapalaran
Daan -daang taon na ang nakalilipas ay nahulog sila sa pag -ibig tulad ng ginawa namin
At mamamatay ako para sa iyo sa parehong paraan
Kung una kong nakita ang iyong mukha
[Koro]
Sa labinlimang daan -daang sa isang dayuhang lupain
At napilitan akong magpakasal sa ibang lalaki
Ikaw pa rin ang magiging akin
Kami ay walang tiyak na oras
Babasahin ko na ang iyong mga titik ng pag -ibig tuwing nag -iisang gabi
At tumakas at iniwan ang lahat sa likuran
Ikaw pa rin ang magiging akin
Kami ay walang oras
Sanhi naniniwala ako na dapat nating hanapin ito
Kaya kahit sa ibang buhay
Ikaw pa rin ang magiging akin
Kami ay walang oras
[Bridge]
Sinira ng oras ang iyong isip at katawan
Huwag mo bang hayaang hawakan ang iyong kaluluwa
Ito ay tulad ng isang pang -edad na klasiko
Ang unang pagkakataon na nakita mo ako
Nagsimula ang kwento nang sinabi mong "hello"
Sa isang masikip na silid ng ilang maikling taon na ang nakalilipas
At kung minsan walang patunay, alam mo lang
Palagi kang magiging akin
Kami ay magiging ...
Mahal kita kapag nagiging kulay -abo ang buhok namin
Magkakaroon kami ng isang karton na kahon ng mga larawan ng buhay na ginawa namin
At sasabihin mo, "Oh my, talagang walang tiyak na oras"
[Chrous]
Kami ay magiging walang tiyak na oras
Walang tiyak na oras
Ikaw pa rin ang magiging akin
Kami ay magiging
Kahit na magkita kami sa isang masikip na kalye noong 1944
Ikaw pa rin ang magiging akin
Kami ay magiging
[Outro]
