Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida movie - Written in the Stars lyrics

rate me

Song by Elton John and LeAnn Rimes<br /><br>

I am here to tell you we can never meet again<br>

Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then<br>

A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when<br>

You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell<br>

The someone you once loved so long ago so well<br>

<br>

Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by<br>

You don't have to ask me and I need not reply<br>

Every moment of my life from now until I die<br>

I will think or dream of you and fail to understand<br>

How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand<br>

<br>

Is it written in the stars<br>

Are we paying for some crime<br>

Is that all that we are good for<br>

Just a stretch of mortal time<br>

<br>

Is this God's experiment<br>

In which we have no say<br>

In which we're given paradise<br>

But only for a day<br>

<br>

Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide<br>

No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide<br>

You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied<br>

Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned<br>

What it is to be in love and have that love returned<br>

<br>
