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 light, 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 ascarlet
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 my heart? I don't know what to
think-"
He knelt to the ground ang pulled out a
ring and said
"Marry me, Juliet. you'll never have 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...
