Verse by Wm. Shakespeare

Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,
Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek
Romeo & Juliet, II, ii



I've seen you
out of the corner of my eyes
it took some time
for me to realize
that I
I loved you
and you
loved me too
it took some time

they say love
is all you'll ever need
when nothing's lost
there's nothing to concede
so I
stand before you
with my heart in your hands
and yours in mine

There's time to sleep
  there's time to cry
  there's time to live
  and there's time to die
There's time on my furrowed brow
  there's time for one more
  there's time for the sentry
  asleep on the floor
There's a time to remember
  there's time to forget
  there's  time to disassemble
  time for regret

but I have no regrets
for the time I spent
with you...

Repeat first verse

My true love's passion: therefore pardon me,
And not impute this yielding to light love,
Which the dark night hath so discovered.
Romeo & Juliet, II, ii
