The first that comes to mind is Indigo Girls' version of "Romeo and Juliet," mainly because the song is a roughly translated summary. Another song that comes to mind right away is Taylor Swift's performance of "Love Story," which while not completely accurate to the play, references the star-crossed lovers.
Hutch Hutchinson performed the song "Reflections," which includes lyrics extolling a love that will be "written down in history like Romeo and Juliet." An opposing perspective is illustrated in the song "Samson and Delilah" as performed by Bad Manners; here the lyrics describe a relationship as varying between the undying naive love of Romeo and Juliet and Delilah's betrayal of Sampson.
The more romantic songs that connect well with Romeo and Juliet include songs like "I Can Love You Like That" as performed by All-4-One; Clay Aiken's rendition of "Something About Us"; John Waite's version of "Valentine" also shows the romantic side of courting and young love.
