Lyrics
[verse]
I stood below your window like a fool without a name
Called you like a lighthouse calls a ship in from the rain
You laughed down from the balcony, you said I'd lost my mind
Maybe every love like ours was always doomed to find
[verse]
We were just two kids who read too many old romantic lines
Believing that a promise made in June could last all time
Now you're with somebody else who plays it safe and slow
And I'm still standing where you left me long ago
[chorus]
Hey, Juliet, do you remember when
We swore that we were different from the rest of them
Hey, Juliet, wherever you are tonight
I'm still your Romeo under the same old light
[verse]
I saw your name in someone's paper, saw you dressed in white
Another man's hand holding yours beneath the chapel light
I wanted to be angry but I only felt the cold
The kind of love like ours don't fit in any mold
[chorus]
Hey, Juliet, do you remember when
We swore that we were different from the rest of them
Hey, Juliet, wherever you are tonight
I'm still your Romeo under the same old light
[bridge]
There's no stage, no balcony, no poison and no blade
Just an ordinary heartbreak that the years refuse to fade
Maybe love's a story that we tell to make it bear
But I would tell it all again if you were standing there
[chorus]
Hey, Juliet, do you remember when
We swore that we were different from the rest of them
Hey, Juliet, wherever you are tonight
I'm still your Romeo under the same old light
