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 life 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 thy 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... |
