• 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.

    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 thy 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...
