Romeo
With her
The day lightens
With her
The night brightens
I'm seeing faces
Hers bathed in purest light
The tender traces
Of love in her sight

With her it's heaven
A peace that leavens
A light, a haven
There I am always free
When she and I can be
There's where I'm meant to be

For her

Enter Juliet and Friar Lawrence.

Juliet: Friar Lawrence!

Friar Lawrence: Juliet!

Romeo
I have played their game

Juliet: They want me to marry Paris

Romeo
For her

Juliet: I'll slay myself!

Friar Lawrence: Wait here. Exits.

Romeo
Oh, I've even slain
Now I'm in this cage
Exiled, locked, detained
Burning inside with rage
My patience fades, it wanes
But still I'll be strong

Both
For they can't end our song
So let them say we're wrong
We know where we belong
Beyond all hate, all war and strife
Where you find love, there you'll find life

Romeo
In Mantua, lost and roaming
I feel a madness coming, growing
Without her

With her

Juliet
Free from shadows of the past

Romeo
The day lightens

Juliet
If we're together, this can last

Romeo
With her

Juliet
Oh...

Romeo
The night brightens

Juliet
This will all be in the past

Romeo
I'm seeing faces

Juliet
Soon I'll feel your arms in mine

Romeo
Hers bathed in purest light

Juliet
We'll defy the fates' design

Romeo
The tender traces

Juliet
We'll no longer play their game

Romeo
Of love in her sight

Juliet
Our love will not prove in vain, oh...

Romeo
With her it's heaven
A peace that leavens
A light, a haven

Both
There I am always free
There he/she and I can be
There's where I'm meant to be

Oh...
