Aida movie - Every Story Is A Love Story lyrics

rate me

<br>

Amneris:<br>

Every story, tale or memoir<br>

Every saga or romance<br>

Whether true or fabricated<br>

Whether planned or happenstance<br>

<br>

Whether sweeping through the ages<br>

Casting centuries aside<br>

Or a hurried brief recital<br>

Just a thirty-minute ride<br>

<br>

Whether bright or melancholy<br>

Rough and ready, finely spun<br>

Whether with a thousand players<br>

Or a lonely cast of one<br>

<br>

Every story, new or ancient<br>

Bagatelle or work of art<br>

All are tales of human failing<br>

All are tales of love at heart<br>

<br>

This is the story<br>

Of a love that flourished<br>

In a time of hate<br>

<br>

Of lovers no tyranny could separate<br>

Love set into motion on the Nile's shore<br>

Destiny ignited by an act of war<br>

<br>

Egypt saw the mighty river as its very heart and soul<br>

Source of life for all her people<br>

That only Egypt could control<br>

Destruction of her southern neighbor justified<br>

Nubia exploited, left with little more than pride<br>

<br>
