Love Story – Carol Banawa (originally by Taylor Swift)

We were both young
When I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I’m standing there
On a balcony of 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 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 quite
‘Cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this down 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 try 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 would 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 kneels 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 talk 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
