We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I&9m 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, &9Please, don&9t go.&9
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I&9ll be waiting; all there&9s left to do is run.
You&9ll be the prince and I&9ll be the princess
It&9s a love story - baby just say &9Yes.&9
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet &9cause we&9re dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
&9Cause 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, &9Please, don&9t go,&9
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I&9ll be waiting; all there&9s left to do is run.
You&9ll be the prince and I&9ll be the princess
It&9s a love story - baby just say &9Yes.&9
Romeo save me; they&9re tryin&9 to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it&9s real.
Don&9t be afraid; we&9ll make it out of this mess.
It&9s a love story - baby just say &9Yes.&9
I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin&9 around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said,
"Romeo save me - I&9ve been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don&9t know what to think-"
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet. you&9ll never have to be alone.
I love you and that&9s all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress;
It&9s a love story - baby just say &9Yes.&9
Oh, oh.
We were both young when I first saw you...
