|
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.' |
|
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 |
