Romeo & Juliet lyrics - correct full version

[maldb]

I've had a number of requests for this. It seems the liner lyrics are not correct, so I listed all of the lyrics as well as the instrumental breaks. This is only for Acts I & II (side A) - the more popular side. I have most of Alec's albums, so if you need a lyric, let me know. Enjoy!

ROMEO & JULIET - ACTS I & II
The most excellent and lamentable tragedy of Romeo & Juliet;
newly corrected, augmented, and amended.

Two households both alike in dignity,
in fair Verona where we lay our scene.
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
a pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life.
Whose misadvantur’d piteous overthrows,
doth with their death bury their parents strife.
The fearful passage of their death mark’d love,
and the continuance of their parents' rage.
Which, but their children's end, naught could remove,
is now the two hours' traffic of our stage.
The which if you with patient ears attend,
what here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend,
shall strive to mend.

-----------BREAK-----------------

Romeo, now suddenly your heart is burning
Romeo, and in her eyes the stars are shining
Romeo, Romeo, Romeo


Juliet, your heart is torn 'tween love and hatred
Juliet, but love so sweet came unexpected
Juliet, Juliet, Juliet


-----------BREAK-----------------


Need I say to you, he's a Montague
Turn your eyes away, speak no more of this young villain.
He's our only foe, a Capulet should know
Turn your eyes away, speak no more of this young villain.

But oh I love him, Oh how I love him
I know I love him more than words more than words
could ever say
But oh I love him, Oh how I love him
I know I love him more than words more than words
could ever say.

What can you expect, she's a Capulet
Turn your eyes away, speak no more of this young woman
She’s our only foe, a Montague should know
Turn your eyes away, speak no more of this young woman.

But oh I love her, Oh how I love her
I know I love her more than words more than words
could ever say
But oh I love her, Oh how I love her
I know I love her more than words more than words
could ever say.

-----------BREAK-----------------

Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie,
and young affection gapes to be his heir.
That fair for which love groan'd for and would die,
with tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair.
Now Romeo is belov'd, and loves again,
alike bewitched by the charm of looks.
But to his foe suppos'd he must complain,
and she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks.
Being held a foe, he may not have access
to breathe such vows as lovers use to swear.
And she as much in love, her means much less
to meet her new beloved anywhere.
But passion lends them power, time means to meet,
temp'ring extremities with extreme sweet,
with extreme sweet.


-----------BREAK-----------------

Sweet Montague I love you, a thousand times I love you
Oh I couldn’t live my life without you
Oh Romeo I love you
I'll wait until tomorrow, parting is such sweet sorrow
Oh Romeo I love you,
Oh I couldn’t live my life without you.


Sweet Capulet I love you, a thousand times I love you
Oh I couldn’t live my life without you
Oh Juliet I love you
Please wait until tomorrow, our love will end all sorrow
Oh Juliet I love you,
Oh I couldn’t live my life without you.

-----------BREAK-----------------

Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, Romeo
Juliet, Juliet, Juliet, Juliet, Juliet
