Love Story

We were Ƅoth уoung when Ɩ first saw уou.
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 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 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...
