Why was Claire danes chosen for Juliet in romeo and Juliet?

Actually, Natialie Portman was their first choice for the film, but she and diCaprio did not have the right chemistry. Claire Danes was chosen, among other reasons, because she is a classically trained actress--she has specifically studied acting in Shakespeare's plays.

Olivia Hussey plays Juliet in Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 movie of Romeo and Juliet. Claire Danes played her in the 1996 Baz Luhrman movie.

How do the lyrics of music effect on the scene where Romeo and Juliet kissed the first time?

This is a question about the 1996 movie with Leonardo diCaprio and Claire Danes, isn't it? The reason I say so is that in most stage productions and films, the background music for this scene, if there is any, is instrumental so as not to detract from what the actors are saying. Not so in the 1996 film which conveyed a lot by visuals. Throughout the scene at the party when Romeo and Juliet meet and kiss for the first time, the song is "Kissing You" by Desree which has the repeated lyric "I'm kissing you."
