We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
Im 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, dont go.
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
Ill be waiting; all theres left to do is run.
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
Its a love story - baby just say Yes.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet cause were 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, dont go,
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
Ill be waiting; all theres left to do is run.
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
Its a love story - baby just say Yes.
Romeo save me; theyre tryin to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but its real.
Dont be afraid; well make it out of this mess.
Its 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 fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said,
"Romeo save me - Ive been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I dont know what to think-"
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet. youll never have to be alone.
I love you and thats all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress;
Its a love story - baby just say Yes.
Oh, oh.
We were both young when I first saw you...
