Romeo And His Princess.

He was a small town Romeo,
With hopes and dreams to find,
She was a forgotten princess,
Waiting for her knight,
They looked well together,
They seemed a perfect match,
But soon time pushed them miles apart,
And put an end to that,
And what had not yet started,
Had crumbled at their feet,
And all the time they were apart,
They felt so incomplete,

O', will they ever know if they'd be happy together,
Will there be only memories to dream on and treasure,
And can they be satisfied knowing this... forever,
O', will they ever know if they'd be happy together,

He shot off into a war,
With hatred all around,
She fell in a lifeless pool,
And left nothing to be found,
He wrote to her to tell her,
That soon he would return,
All his life was cancelled now,
To make some room for her,
But she would never answer,
And when he finally came,
He found he wasn't the only one,
Who'd tho't to get away,

O', will they ever know if they'd be happy together,
Will there be only memories to dream on and treasure,
And can they be satisfied knowing this... forever,
O', will they ever know if they'd be happy together,

So he went back to loneliness,
Returning just sometimes,
Always only emptiness,
Was there for him to find,
Then one day a letter came,
And Romeo felt terrible,
The letter claimed his princess dead,
And soon would be her burial,
And with a tear in every word,
He said he'd live no more,
His broken heart would take him to heaven,
To everything he'd lived for,

O', will they ever know if they'd be happy together,
Will there be only memories to dream on and treasure,
And can they be satisfied knowing this... forever,
O', will they ever know if they'd be happy together,
O', I wonder if they'll be happy now, together... forever.
