We were both young, when I first saw you.
|
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
|
I'm standing there, on a balcony of summer air.
|
|
I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
|
You see me make my way through the crowd
|
And say hello, little did you know...
|
|
That I was Romeo and I was throwing pebbles
|
And your daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
|
And you were crying on the staircase
|
Begging me please don't go...
|
And I said...
|
|
Juliet I'll take you somewhere, we can be alone.
|
Just keep waiting; all there's left to do is run.
|
I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess,
|
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
|
|
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
|
And we keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew
|
So close your eyes... Escape this town for a little while.
|
|
Cause I was Romeo - You were a scarlet letter,
|
And your daddy said "Stay away from Juliet"
|
But you were everything to me
|
And you were begging me, please don't go,
|
And I said...
|
|
Juliet I'll take you somewhere, we can be alone.
|
Just keep waiting; all there's left to do is run.
|
I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess,
|
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
|
|
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
|
This love is difficult, but it is 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 coming around.
|
My faith in you is fading,
|
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
|
You 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,"
|
Then I kneel on the ground and pull 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-you'll pick out the white dress
|
It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
|
|
We were both young when I first saw you.
