Romeo
I cannot find a thing
To occupy my mind
I don't know what to do
Time can be so unkind
It seems a hundred hours
In every endless day
And yet when you are near
Time just flies away
Memories restore me
That's what keeps me going
The rivers are still now
They'll soon be flowing
Juliet
My life is being planned
By everyone but me
I can't believe that this is
How life's meant to be
I wish I had a wand
That I could simply wave
Then I would just reverse
The wisdom they all gave
With this wand
All my pain would be ended
And we'd be together
The way God intended
Romeo
All days are the same without love
Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays
Juliet
Strange how nothing ever changes
And it's strange how nothing matters
Both All days are the same without you
Without you beside me
Who cares if the moon seems closer
Or the stars seem brighter
All days are the same without you
But with you the days glow
Each one's an adventure
Anything can happen
My heart never ages
Each day's been created
For you
All days are the same without you
But with you the days glow
Each one's an adventure
Anything can happen
My heart never ages
Each day's been created
For you
All days are the same without you
Juliet
Friar Laurence! They're making me marry Paris tomorrow!
The Friar
I know, Juliet.
Juliet
You also know I'm already married. What am I going to do? Help me!
The Friar
Juliet, Juliet!
Juliet
You're partly responsible for this!
The Friar
I know, I know! Tell them you'll marry Paris.
Juliet
I can't!
The Friar
Wait. How brave are you?
Juliet
I'd do anything.
The Friar
This is a special potion. Take it with you.
Juliet
Why? What do you want me to do with it?
The Friar
It's a poison.
Juliet
You want me to kill myself?
The Friar
No. No, it's not a real poison. But once you've drunk it, it will look like you've died. You'll lose the colour in your face, you won't appear to be breathing. They'll think you killed yourself. And in a day and a half, you'll wake up. In the meantime, I'll get a message to Romeo, telling him about our plan. When you open your eyes, you can join him in Mantua.
Juliet
A day and a half. Of death.
The Friar
Yes.
Juliet
I'll do it! Thank you. Thank you!
The Friar
Take this message to Romeo Montague in Mantua. Guard it with your life.
