When Romeo saw her across the floor
Was it love at first sight or another closed door
That forbade him through
When Juliet stood from the balcony
What made her fall, true love or gravity
Into a distant lullaby
When Romeo gently took her breath
Did he know he'd sung her into her death
Or blithely refused to believe it true
When Juliet whispered 'death do us part'
Didn't she know he already had her heart
He wasn't the first one to die
When Romeo saw her, pale as dead
He gave his soul to take her stead
It was no longer his to give
When Juliet saw her lover dead by knife
Who had all of her, except her life
And with him false will to live
Was there ever a tale of such woe
As of Juliet and her Romeo?
