[Intro]
      


We were both y

oung when I fi

rst saw you
  
I close my eye

s and the flas

hback starts
             
I'm standing t

             
here on a balc

           
ony in the sum

mer air


See the lights

, see the part

y, the ball go

wns

See you make y

our way throug

h the crowd 
            
And say "hello

" 
           
Little did I k

now

             
That you were 

              
Romeo, you wer

  
e throwing peb

bles
            
And my daddy s

              
aid "Stay away

      
 from Juliet" 
          
And I was cryi

ng on the stai

rcase 
             
Begging you "P

            
lease don't go

         
" and I said 


Romeo, take me

 somewhere we 

can be alone

I'll be waitin

g, all that's 

left to do is 

run

You'll be the 

prince and I'l

l be the princ

ess 
             
It's a love st

             
ory, baby, jus

            
t say "Yes." 

   
So I sneak out

 to the garden

 to see you

We keep quiet 

'cause we're d

ead if they kn

ew 
              
So close your 


eyes
              
Escape this to

         
wn for a littl

e while... Oh,

 oh

             
'Cause you wer

and my daddy s

              
aid "Stay away

      
 from Juliet" 
             
But you were e

verything to m

e
             
I was begging 

              
you "Please do

 said 


Romeo, take me

 somewhere we 

can be alone 

I'll be waitin

g all there's 

left to do is 

run 

You'll be the 

prince and I'l

Romeo save me,

g to tell me h

ow to feel 

This love is d

ifficult, but 

it's real

Don't be afrai

it out of this

 mess 
             
It's a love st

[Solo]
         
Oh, oh

  

              
I got tired of

           
 waiting,   wo

             
ndering if you

              
 were ever com

     
ing around 
              
My faith in yo

       
u was fading
             
When I met you

              
 on the outski

       
rts of town, a

nd I said
 

Romeo save me,

ling so alone 

I keep waiting

 for you but y

ou never come 
   
Is this in my 

head, I don't 

know what to t

hink 
             
He knelt to th

             
e ground and p

ulled out a ri

ng and said


Marry me, Juli

et, you'll nev

er have to be 

alone 

I love you and

Oh, oh, oh
             
'Cause we were
