The Nurse: I have cared for her Each day of her young life The baby in my arms Is soon to be a wife She isn't of my flesh She doesn't share my name Her humor and her looks Aren't something I can claim My Juliet is grown up
And now she is in love And everything has changed Her feelings and her hair Have all be re-arranged And while her heart bursts Mine's starting to break I am only her nurse So why do I find this so hard to take? She's eager to fly But oh, how fragile her wings But then she's in love
Wide-eyed Romeo And love-struck Juliet It seems their love was doomed Before they even met Their worlds are worlds apart Too much of a divide Her heart is bound to break If she becomes his bride Oh Juliet, I'm frightened
But she is so in love And every day's a dance And good old common sense Doesn't stand a chance I've done all I can What more can I do? When I was in love like her I was foolish too... So eager to fly Oh how fragile my wings But then, I was in love
The air I was breathing then Was like vintage wine And the darkest of nights Still managed to shine The love disappeared The memory stayed There's still a glimmer of light in me That will never fade
I know how she feels She's eager to fly But then she's in love
