I have been blessed, why should this be? Why have the gods looked down on me? Her girlish laugh, her open ways They invade my nights and light my days My Juliet so sweet, so small A smile that could make giants fall The greatest joy I'll never know Is knowing she still loves me so I can't believe
She came from me, she came from me Hard to believe she came from me I live for her, I die for her I am so proud and yet I fear This angry world will get too near
This world is filled with selfish men Who turn girls' heads time and again I know it's time to set her free But letting go is hard for me The time has come
These days she wears a painted face Her heart beats at a faster pace Another man has come and captured her He's so polite, he calls me sir I've welcomed him, that's what you do I tell myself he loves her too No one will see what I go through
She is a joy, she is a curse The ruler of my universe If Paris lets her down, he wouldn't dare If he breaks her heart I'll break him I swear I'll live in her when I am gone To think that I will still live on How can it be she came from me
A gift from God, a precious prize I stare and can't believe my eyes I watched her grow and grow and grow There's one thing I will never know, how can it be
