| 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 that’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.
|
| Oh, oh.
|
| '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 that’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 try 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 knelts 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.
|
| Oh, oh, oh, oh.
|
| 'Cause we were both young when I first saw you… |
