The air was colder   Eyes were heavy   The day a child who loved died   Your heart was choking on its sorrow   Your 13 year old innocent delight   And me I've spent my life in waiting   On one whose heart knew more than mine   And now the stars are in my window   And on my breath the moon light      Chorus:Oh Romeo I can't explain this weight upon my chest   That you'd live to tell the story to a girl whose left for less   I have never cried for thinking verona was not mine   Why am I pacing through her dusty streets?   I pray there is not tragedy this time      Oh how they'll love to claim its magic   How that somehow frees their hands   And they say they'd love to change the world   And meanwhile they watch it from the stands   But you and I are all alone here now   It's not what either of us planned   I'd be the last to think I'd learn to love   Your beauty took so long to understand      Chorus:Oh Romeo I can't explain this weight upon my chest   That you'd live to tell the story to a girl whose left for less   I have never cried for thinking verona was not mine   Why am I pacing through her dusty streets?   I pray there is not tragedy this time   repeat chorus
