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 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, dont 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 scarlet letter
And my daddy said "stay away from juliet"
But you were everything to me; i was begging you "please dont 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 trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Dont 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 dont 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....
