love story

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 knowThat 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.'
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.
I 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-"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...
