"Just Like Romeo and Juliet"

(verse 1:)
Standing under the streetlight
I stare at your window two flights above
My heart skips at your shadow
And my every thought of you is love.
I never saw such true beauty
Until the first time my eyes saw you
And I asked myself the question
Did my heart ever before love this true?

(chorus:)
We're just like Romeo and Juliet
Just like a Montague and a Capulet
Star-crossed lovers just can't resist
The pleasant danger every time they kiss.

(verse 2:)
Why do the sad hours seem so long?
In the daylight I feel like fortune's fool
But at nightfall you make me come alive
As we live and we love and break every rule.
Will no one ever try to understand
Flutterings of love we feel in the heart
Must we always live with such secrecy?
For fear they in the world will keep us apart

(chorus:)
We're just like Romeo and Juliet
Just like a Montague and a Capulet
Surrounded by the misunderstanding of
The sanctuary we've found inside our love.

(verse 3:)
From a beloved to his bright angel
Now under the stars shining so bright
Though the sun may kill the moon
My love, I will lie with you safely tonight
And I vow to you at this moment
No matter what others possess to do
Your kiss is like a prayer to my lips
And I will wait my whole lifetime for you.

(chorus:)
We're just like Romeo and Juliet
Just like a Montague and a Capulet
Forbidden to be together as one
Yet too much in love let it come undone.

We're just like Romeo and Juliet
Just like a Montague and a Capulet
Love deep and boundless as the sea
Forever you for I and always I for thee.
