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 love story baby just say yes


Oh oh


I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming 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,
Oh, oh
Cause we were both young when I first saw you...
