The song which was the main love theme from Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet was known at the time as "What is a Youth" and nowadays is more usually called "A Time for Us"
The song is called "A Time for Us" by Henry Mancini and performed by various artists for the 1968 film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.
Not "Romeo and Juliet", that was 1936. Not "Romeo+Juliet", that was 1996. This one (as most of them are), was "Romeo & Juliet", with an ampersand.

the song that dawn sings in romeo and juliet, so the word is dawn song!
Which Romeo and Juliet are you talking about? Romeus and Juliet the poem by Arthur Brooke? Romeo and Juliet the play by William Shakespeare? Romeo and Juliet the Symphonic Poem by Tchaikovsky? Romeo and Juliet the ballet by Prokofieff? Romeo and Juliet the song by Dire Straits? All of them are original works even though they are all about the same story.
Yes, the song called A Time for Us was composed by Nino Rota for the 1968 movie of Romeo and Juliet. This haunting and lyrical melody was the main theme for the film. It is sung during the Capulet party, and on the soundtrack album is called "What is a Youth" with lyrics by Eugene Walter. It is not actually called "A Time for Us" anywhere on the soundtrack album.
The lyric goes "I just want you to know I want to be your Romeo. Hey, Juliet." The singer is alluding to the story of Romeo and Juliet saying that he would like to be a Romeo to her Juliet, which is to say, her lover. Apart from the fact that Romeo and Juliet are lovers, there is no connection in the lyrics with the Romeo and Juliet story. Indeed, from the attitude of the girl in the song, the song might have been more appropriately titled "Hey Rosaline"
