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 Julie
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

Oh, oh, oh

´Cause you were Romeo,
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Julie
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 trying 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

I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming 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 my head, I don´t know what to think
He knelt to the ground and he pulled out a ring
And said

Married me, Juliet, you´ll never have to be alone
I love you and that´s all I really know
I talked to your dad, you´ll pick out a wedding dress
It´s a love story, baby, just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh

We where both young when I first saw you
