Sweet Juliet
For my Unknown Love
Jerome

in the realm of dreams and dreamers
i dream the sweetest dream of all
a dream of love so pure and honest
that all else pales in compare
i walk upon clouds as soft as down
and fly on wings as eagles fly
i fly above the world – searching
but never do i see her face
the one who took from me my heart
the one to whom it still belongs

mysterious girl of my dreams
my princess of the oceans deep
come to me once more tonight
that i may hold you in my arms
sweet juliet of all my dreams
oh, keeper of my heart and soul
i long to meet you – long to touch you
to keep you safe from any harm

if i could see your face but once
my heart could be at rest again
but so it aches and longs for you
and never does my eye quite see
all your glory revealed to me
but instead you lie in shadow
your beauty veiled from my eye
there is a beauty that i know,
one greater than which can be seen
the beauty of your heart and soul –
the beauty you have shown to me

oh come, oh come sweet juliet
return the love you took from me
i do not ask you for my heart
my heart – my love – is yours to keep
i ask instead that you love me
