## Lyrics

```
Verse 1

```

```
I said remember this moment

```

```
In the back of my mind

```

```
The time that I stood there smiling

```

```
And the fans in stands went wild

```

```
We were the king and the queen

```

```
And they read off our names

```

```
The night you danced like you knew our lives

```

```
Would never be the same

```

```
You held your head like a hero

```

```
On a history book page

```

```
It was the end of a chapter

```

```
But the start of an age

```

```
Chorus

```

```
Long live the walls we crashed through

```

```
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

```

```
I was screaming, "Long live all the magical days!"

```

```
And bring on all the pretenders

```

```
Baby, this will be remembered.

```

```
Verse 2

```

```
I said remember this feeling

```

```
I read my vows all aloud.

```

```
Of all the things we did and the love we shared and how I was

```

```
Wishing for right now.

```

```
We are the king and the queen.

```

```
You traded your red helmet for a crown

```

```
When you gave me my ring

```

```
And we showed it off for the town!

```

```
And the cynics were outraged

```

```
Screaming, "This is absurd"

```

```
'Cause for a moment, just you and me,

```

```
And our bright red cheeks got to rule the world..

```

```
Chorus

```

```
Long live the walls we crashed through

```

```
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

```

```
I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made"

```

```
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid

```

```
Long live all the mountains we moved

```

```
I had the time of my life dancing around with you!

```

```
I was screaming, "Long live the blush on your face"

```

```
And bring on all the pretenders

```

```
Baby, we will be remembered

```

```
Bridge

```

```
Hold on to dancing around

```

```
Confetti falls to the ground

```

```
May these memories break our fall

```

```
Will you take a moment?

```

```
Promise me this

```

```
That you'll stand by me forever

```

```
But if, God forbid, fate should step in

```

```
And force us into a goodbye

```

```
If you feel lonely that day.

```

```
Turn your mind to the pictures

```

```
And remember my name.

```

```
Remember how I loved you so.

```

```
Remember how I held you tight.

```

```
Chorus

```

```
Long live the walls we crashed through

```

```
I've had the time of my life with you

```

```
Long, long live the walls we crashed through

```

```
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

```

```
And I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made"

```

```
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid

```

```
Singing long live all the mountains we moved

```

```
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you

```

```
And long, long live the look on your face

```

```
And bring on all the pretenders

```

```
Baby, we will be remembered

```

```
Outro

```

```
Dear Travis, thank you for always being my biggest fan. I wouldn't trade anything for the love we've shared in the past two years. I changed the lyrics of this song just for you, because I always dreamed of it being in my wedding. I am so glad i get to share it with you. I love you, love, Taylor.
