You're My Romeo

Music: Voluntarie: for my ladye nevell.
By William Byrd. Sequenced by John Sankey.

Alpha List

You're my Romeo
And I'm your Juliet,
But we have neither Montague
Nor scheming Capulet.

Instead we struggle with the rent
And work to buy a house;
And wait till we can take a breath
To think of the word "spouse."

Our days are hills we have to climb,
And nights . . . well, we must sleep.
And when I watch you lift the world
And laugh, I want to weep.

No early death ennobles us,
Nor legend turned to gold;
Yet we would shine as bright as they
Were our tale told.
