Serenade Lyrics

Beneath your window, I stand tonight

Guitar in hand, bathed in moonlight

My heart's on fire, my love's ablaze

I've practiced this song for days and days

Oh, my darling, my sweet Juliette

Our love's a story the stars won't forget

I'll climb this trellis, just to be near

My voice will reach you, crystal clear

I start to climb, my soul's elate

To finally see you, I can't wait

But as I reach your balcony

There's movement inside, what do I see?

A shadowy figure, tall and lean

Sneaking out like a movie scene

My heart stops cold, I lose my grip

As I realize I've been given the slip

Oh, my darling, my sweet Juliette

Looks like our story's not over yet

Who's that fellow with the charming smile?

Seems I've been blind all the while

So here I am, stuck in a tree

Singing a ballad for two, not me

Love's not a game that I can win

When I'm the joke in this violin

So here I am, stuck in a tree

Singing a ballad for two, not me

Love's not a game that I can win

When my trust is getting paper thin.
