Love Story Lyrics

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
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Juliet, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Romeo
And I was lying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Juliet take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll keep waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the princess and I'll be the prince and
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 Juliet, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Romeo
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Juliet take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll keep waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the princess and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Juliet take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll keep waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the princess and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Juliet take 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
Iknelt 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

Cause we were both young when I first saw you
