lyrics

Romeo And Juliet

Oh you'd never seen anyone looking so fair
Wildflowers in a garland tied up in her hair
Warm light in her eyes like a summer sunset
That's how Romeo found his Juliet

He said "Hey I don't think I've see you here before
And I've spent too many nights on this dirty dance floor."
She said "Yeah I'm not out much, I haven't been free."
He said "I'd sure love it if you'd dance with me."

So they danced and they smiled and they laughed and they blushed
'til the whole room seemed to be flyin'
At the end of the night they shared a long hard kiss
This was real, there could be no denyin'

Well Juliet's brother John was famously mean
All sneers and punches and gun magazines
Oh and he never liked Romeo's friends at school
They were too well-heeled and thought they were so cool

He said I heard you saw my sister last night
And Romeo was no good at lyin'
John said meet me here at 9 and be ready to fight
Juliet couldn't keep from cryin'

At the park it was cold and dark and cruel
Johnny's eyes shone red like the devil's tool
He swung first and missed, went down and fell hard
Romeo never touched him, just ran to his car

Juliet's sobs and screams made her blood run too cold
For her sweet little heart to keep supplyin'
Some folks just don't have enough strength for this life
Sometimes it's so hard to keep from dyin'

He pulled up to her house and there were people all around
Nobody could keep from cryin'
He saw the doctor and screamed "Where is my love?"
He said she's here, but her spirit is flyin'
