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 Juliet.”
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.
‘Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said “Stay away from Juliet,”
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 tryin’ to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it’s so real.
Don’t be afraid; we’ll make it out of this mess.
It’s a love story - baby just say “Yes.’”

Oh.

I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin’ 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 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.’”

Oh, oh.

We were both young when I first saw you…

A strangled smile fell from your face
It kills me that I hurt you this way
The worst part is that I didn’t even know
Now there’s a million reasons for you to go
But if you can find a reason to stay

I’ll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what’s at stake
I know that I’ve let you down
And if you give me a chance
Believe that I can change
I’ll keep us together
Whatever it takes

She said if we’re gonna make this work
You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
Don’t hide the broken parts that I need to see
She said like it or not it’s the way it’s gotta be
You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me

I’ll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what’s at stake
I know that I’ve let you down
And if you give me a chance
And give me a break
I’ll keep us together

I know you deserve much better
Remember the time I told you the way that I felt
And that I’d be lost without you and never find myself
Let’s hold onto each other above everything else
Start over, start over

I’ll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what’s at stake
I know that I’ve let you down
And if you give me a chance
Believe that I can change
I’ll keep us together
Whatever it takes

They read you Cinderella
You hoped it would come true
And one day a Prince Charming
Would come rescue you

You like romantic movies
And you never will forget
The way it felt
When Romeo kissed Juliette

And all this time that you’ve been waiting
You don’t have to wait no more

I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move Heaven and earth
If you were my girl

I would give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you’re everything that’s precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that
I can love you like that

I never make a promise
I don’t intend to keep
So when I say forever
Forever’s what I mean

Well, I am no Casanova
But I swear this much is true
I’ll be holdin’ nothin’ back
When it comes to you

You dream of love that’s everlastin’
Well baby open up your eyes

I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move Heaven and earth
If you were my girl

I would give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you’re everything that’s precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that, yeah

If you want tenderness
I’ve got tenderness
And I see through to the heart of you
If you want a man
Who will understand
You don’t have to look very far

I can love you, girl I can
I can love you
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move Heaven and earth
If you were my girl

I would give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you’re everything that’s precious to me

I can love you like that
(I can, I can love you)
Make you my world
(Always kiss and hug you)
Heaven and earth
(Baby be mine)
If you were my girl
(My one and only girl)

I would give you my heart
My heart, my heart, my world
(Show you you’re everything)
You’re everything to me

Love you like that
(I can, I can love you)
Make you my world
(If you let me love you)
Heaven and earth
If you were my girl

I would give you my heart
Show you you’re everything
Love you like that

If the hero never comes to you
If you need someone you’re feeling blue
If you’re away from love and you’re alone
If you call your friends and nobody’s home
You can run away but you can’t hide
Through a storm and through a lonely night
Then I show you there’s a destiny
The best things in life
They’re free

What real love can do
What love can do
What real love can do
What love can do
What real love can do
What love can do

There was nothing to say the day SHE left
I just filled a suitcase full of regrets
I hailed a taxi in the rain
Looking for some place to ease the pain

Pre-Chorus:
Then like an answered prayer
I turned around and found you there
Chorus:
You really where start (you really know where to start)
Fixing a broken heart
You really know what to do
Your emotional tools
Can cure any fool
Whose dreams have fallen apart?
Fixing a broken heart
I never could understand
What you’re going to through
There must be a plan that led me to you
Coz’ all the heart just disappears
Every moment you are near

Pre-Chorus:
Just like an answered prayer
You make the loneliness easy to bear

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Soon the rain will stop falling, baby
So let’s forget the past
Coz here we are at last
Repeat Chorus
