There was a love, I knew before
 She broke my heart, left me unsure
 Juliet, don't forget
 The promise you made, I need never be afraid
 Things you do, reminiscent of you
 Juliet, when we, when we met
 You gave me, sweet memories
 Things you do reminiscent of you
 There was a love I knew before
 She broke my heart, left me unsure
 Juliet, don't you, oh don't you let
 My love go astray, in this way
 Julie , Julie, Julie, oh Julie
 Oh my Juliet, Julie oh Julie
 Oh my Juliet...fades...

The Four Pennies

The Four Pennies were an English, 1960s pop group, most notable for their 1964 UK chart-topping song "Juliet". The group's name came after a meeting above the Blackburn music shop owned by Mary Reidy, the shop being situated on "Penny Street", where it is still located today as "Reidy's Home of Music". The name was chosen as a more commercial alternative to "The Lionel Morton Four". The shop is still owned by the Reidy family. more »
