Both of the following sections are written as complete lyrics to this song:
If you wish to read/sing along to the music, listen once for Juliet, and then a second time for Romeo’s reply. The final phrase of each section repeats to the end of the track.
The Balcony Scene
Juliet:
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
Where have you gone?
I don’t see you
I don’t see you
I don’t see you
And once again
I find myself waiting for you, love
A simple moment
Just any moment
To hold your hand, love
It’s all I want
Please do not fade
I want you close
Why can’t you stay, love?
I don’t need perfect
Or some false promise
I just want you, love
So please don’t leave me
stay close beside me
and hold me tightly
My eyes are aching from all these goodbyes,
goodbyes, goodbyes, goodbyes,
goodbyes. . .

Romeo
can you hear me?
can you hear me?
can you hear me?
I never left.
hear my still voice.
hear my still voice.
And know at once
That I am tethered to your heart, love
A perfect moment
One quiet moment
To hold your hand, love
It’s all I ask
I will not fade
I want you close
Please let me stay, love
And then together
We’ll find some future
We won’t surrender
We’ll last forever
In our sweet secret
Where loving matters
and nothing else can cloud your eyes,
your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
your eyes. . .
