This summarizes the lyrics of two songs:
1) "Daniel" by Elton John is about missing a brother named Daniel who has travelled away. The singer sees Daniel's red tail lights heading to Spain and waves goodbye, thinking it's just the clouds in his eyes. He reflects on how Daniel has experienced more pain than him.
2) "Love Story" by Taylor Swift tells a romantic story about falling in love with someone (Romeo) despite her father's disapproval. They sneak out to be together and she begs him not to go, and he proposes they run away together to be alone, just saying "yes."

2. Song 1 - Daniel -Elton John (1973)
Daniel is travelling tonight on a _______
I can see the_____ tail lights heading for
Spain
Oh and I can ______ Daniel waving
goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds
in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never
been
Well Daniel ______ it's the best place that
he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there
enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I _____ him so much
Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that
won't heal
Your eyes have died but you ______ more
than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can ______ Daniel waving
goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds
in my eyes
Oh God it looks ______ Daniel, must be the
clouds in my eyes
Song 2- Love Story – Taylor Swift (2008)
We were both young when I first _____ you
I close my eyes & the flashback starts
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer
air
See the lights, _____ the party, the ball
gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say "Hello", little did I know...
That you were Romeo, you were throwing
pebbles
And my daddy _____, "Stay away from
Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you "Please don't go", & I said...
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be
alone
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is _____
You'll be the prince & I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby, just say "Yes"
So I sneak out to the garden to ______ you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they
knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a
little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet
letter
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
I was begging you "Please don't go", & I
said...
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be
alone
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run
You'll be the prince & I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby, just say "_______"
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me
how to feel
This love is difficult but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby, just say "Yes"
...
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you ______ ever coming
around
My faith in you was fading
When I _____ you on the outskirts of town
And I said...
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so
alone
I keep waiting for you but you never
come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to
think
He knelt to the ground & pulled out a
ring & _______
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be
alone
I love ______ & that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white
dress
It's a love story baby, just say "Yes"
Oh oh oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw
you
