Star-Crossed Lovers lyrics

Father, dear father,

I come to confession

hoping to find peace of mind.

Father, I've fallen

in love with an angel

but she's not one of our kind.

If it's a sin

to want her and need her,

this is what I'm guilty of.

She won't believe

in the things we believe in

but she believes in my love.

Star-crossed lovers:

is there a place for us

in this world?

Father, dear father,

I can't live without her.

Is it your wish we must part?

Would you refuse

to give me your blessing

if I should follow my heart?

Father, please tell me,

are we so different

and is our love so unwise?

We both believe

there is one power in heaven

but we see it through different eyes.

Star-crossed lovers:

is there a place for us

in this world?

Star-crossed lovers:

is there a place for us

in this world?

(Star-crossed lovers,

star-crossed lovers,

star-crossed lovers,

star-crossed lovers,

star-crossed...)
