Verse 1
She sleeps tonight alone in her keep
Her beauty seems just out of reach
He’s climbing walls and she’s surprised that’s all
But don’t you dare stay here just for me
He said “Life is worth living, and love is forgiving”
So, Julie, won’t you put down that gun
Verse 2
He stands alone, a silhouette in her window
And makes strange sorrow his home
It’s cold in Paris; she likes it hot in Rome
You know she won’t be sleeping alone
She said life’s lived together, true love is forever
But Julie won’t you put down that gun
Chorus
All I need is what’s in front of me
It’s alright now, baby
Can’t you see you mean the world to me
You’re feeling all right now, baby
They tossed the world down at your feet
You walked away, it’s alright babe, it’s alright
Yeah, it’s alright
Bridge
But now the dagger’s ruby red
Stained by the blood of Capulet
Have you ever met a girl so fine
You just thought you’d drink it down and die for a while?
Instrumental Solo
Chorus
Verse 3
She sleeps tonight alone in her keep
Her beauty lies just out of reach
Life is worth living, and love is for giving
So, Julie won’t you put down that gun
Yes life is worth living, your love is forgiven
So, Julie sleep tonight … yes, Julie sleep tonight
