We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On the balcony in summer air
F＃
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
B
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 da ddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet!'
And I was crying on the staircase
Be gging you, 'Please don't go!'
And I said
Ro meo, take me somewhere we can be alone
C＃sus4
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
E♭m
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
B
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a littl e while
C＃
Oh, oh
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my da ddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet!'
But you were everything to me
I was b egging you, 'Please don't go!'
And I said
Ro meo, take me somewhere we can be alone
C＃sus4
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
E♭m
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'
F＃
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
C＃sus4
This love is difficult, but it's real
E♭m
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 wa iting
Wondering if y ou were ever coming aro und
My faith in you was f ading
When I m et you on the outskirts of t own
And I said
Ro meo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
C＃sus4
I keep waiting for you but you never come
E♭m
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
G＃
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
E♭sus4
I love you, and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
I t's a love story, b aby, just say, 'Ye s.'
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause w e were both young when I first saw you
