1. We were both young when I first saw you,
F
I close my eyes and the flashback starts,
Am F
I’m standing there on a balcony of summer air.
C
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns,
F
I see you make your way through the crowd,
Am F - G
you say, “Hello!” Little did I know.
F G
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,
Am C
and my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet !”
F
and I was crying on the staircase,
G Am - F G
begging you, “Please don't go!” and I said :
C
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone,
G
I'll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run,
Am
you'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
F G - - - - C
it’s a love story, baby, just say “Yes”.
C
2. So I sneak out to the garden to see you,
F
we keep quiet ‘cause we're dead if they know,
Am F G
so close your eyes, let’s keep this down for a little while, oh.
