She Came from Me
[Lord Capulet]
I have been blessed. Why should this be?
Why have the gods looked down on me?
A girlish laugh, her open ways
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 ever 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'd die for her
I am so proud
And yet I fеar this angry world will get to [?]
This world is filled with selfish mеn
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
This day she weds, painted face
Heartbeats and [?]
And now the lad has come and captured her
He's so alight because [?]
I 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
A living hell 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've watched her grow, and grow [?]
There's one thing I will never know
How can it be she came from me?
