Taylor Swift – Ronan ve Hikayesi
“Ronan”, Amerikalı country şarkıcısı Taylor Swift’in 8 Eylül 2012’de iTunes Store’da yayınlanan şarkısı. Taylor şarkıyı dört yaşında kanserden (nöroblastomdan) ölen Ronan Thompson adlı bir çocuğun annesi olan Maya Thompson’ın blogunu okuduktan sonra yazdı. Annesi aynı zamanda şarkının yazarlarından biridir, şarkıyı yazarken ona yardım etti. Şarkı ismini de ölen çocuğun adından alıyor.
Şarkıyı ilk kez televizyonda yayınlanan, bir yardım toplama programı olan “Stand Up to Cancer” da söyledi. Daha sonra iTunes Store’da satışa çıktı. Şarkının tüm kazancını kanserle savaş için kuruluşlara bağışladı.

Şarkı sözleri:
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 backI remember your blue eyes
Looking into mine
Like we had our own secret club
I remember your dancing before bedtime
Then jumping on me waking me upI can still feel you hold my hand
Little man
And even in the moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guard
Remember I, leaned in and whispered to youCome on baby with me
We’re gonna fly away from here
You were my best four yearsI 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 its about to be halloween
You could be anything
You wanted if you were still hereI remember the last day
When I kissed your face
And I whispered in your earCome on baby with me
We’re gonna fly away from here
Out of this curtained room
And this hospital grey will just disappearCome on baby with me
We’re gonna fly away from here
You were my best four yearsWhat if I’m standing in your closet
Trying to talk to you?
And what if I kept your hand-me-downs
You won’t grow in to?
And what if I really thought some miracle
Would see us through?
And what if the miracle was even getting
One moment with you?Come on baby with me
We’re gonna fly away from hereCome on baby with me
We’re gonna fly away from here
You were my best four yearsI remember you bare feet
Down the hallway
I love you to the moon and
Back…
