Friar Lawrence is thinking ahead in marrying Romeo and Juliet: he hopes the marriage will bring peace to the two feuding families. Therefore, a song that represents the strategizing part of his personality would be "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" by Fleetwood Mac.
Since the friar does want to see an end to a violent feud, in other words, since he is a peacemaker, "Give Peace a Chance," by John Lennon would represent the peace loving part of his personality.
The friar is also a cautious and level-headed personality, warning Romeo not to love too rashly or his love will burn out too fast. He tries to put the brakes on Romeo's emotional excesses, and he is worried enough about the passion Romeo and Juliet feel for each other that he won't let them be alone until after he marries them. Therefore, Silverstein's "Love with Caution" might well be a song the friar would suggest to the lovers. The friar might say what the song does: "please remember, hearts can grow. ... take it slow ... love with caution and trust."
