Lyrics
Serenading Juliet
The stars entreat your eyes tonight
To twinkle in their spheres
They?ve business elsewhere at great heights
They?ll not want the earth to fear
You stand there on your balcony
Wondering where I might be
I stand below you in the garden night
Hoping that you?ll see me
[chorus]
Oh fair Juliet
Soon this angry world will look the other way
And then I?ll climb these walls
And we?ll step out into the day
You lay your cheek upon your hand
You lift our love as a kite
If I were a glove upon that hand
I?d cradle your beauty tonight
You speak, oh bright angel; what of that
Did I hear you calling my name
Call me but love and I?ll turn my back
Love me and hear this sweet refrain
Oh fair Juliet
Soon this angry world will look the other way
And then I?ll climb these walls
And we?ll step out into the day
