William Shatner - Romeo And Juliet lyrics

[Intro] Romeo is madly in love with Juliet. But because of a senseless family feud, the two lovers are forbidden to speak to one another. Romeo is a true believer that the spirit of love can overcome all obstacles. At the moment he is standing in a garden by Juliet's bedroom window, wondering if he should call out his name and tell her of his burning love [Verse 1] But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun Arise, fair sun, and k** the envious moon Who is already sick and pale with grief That thou her maid art far more fair than she: Be not her maid, since she is envious; Her vestal livery is but sick and green And none but fools do wear it; cast it off It is my lady, O, it is my love! O, that she knew she were! She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that? Her eye discourses; I will answer it I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks: Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O, that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that cheek! [Verse 2] She speaks: O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head As is a winged messenger of heaven Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him When he bestrides the lazy-puffing clouds And sails upon the bosom of the air
