Love Story
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 crowdAnd 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 princessIt'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 princessIt'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".
Oh.
I got tired of waiting,Wondering if you were ever comin' around.My faith in you was fadingWhen 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.
Cause ce were both young when I first saw you...
