We were both young
when I first saw you.
I close my eyes
and the flashback starts:
I’m standing there
on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights,
see 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 said,
”Stay away from Juliet. ”
And I was crying
on the staircase,
begging you,
’Please, don’t go. ’”
And I said,
”Romeo, take me
somewhere we can be alone.
I’ll be waiting
all there’s left to do is run.
You’ll be the prince
and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story -
baby just say ’Yes. ’”
So I sneak out
to the garden to see 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, ’”
And I said,
”Romeo, take me
somewhere we can be alone.
I’ll be waiting
all there’s left to do is run.
You’ll be the prince
and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story -
baby just say ’Yes. ’
Romeo save me -
they’re tryin’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. ’”
Oh
I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if
you were ever comin’around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met 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
and pulled out a ring and said,
”Marry me, Juliet -
you’ll never have to be alone.
I love you
and 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
We were both young when
I first saw you
