Elton John, LeAnn Rimes - Written in the Stars lyrics
[Elton John, LeAnn Rimes - Written in the Stars lyrics]
I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Simple, really, isn't it? A word or two
And then a lifetime of not knowing where or
How or why or when
You think of me or speak of
Me or wonder what befell
The someone you once loved so
Long ago so well
Never wonder what I'll feel
As living shuffles by
You don't have to ask me
And I need not reply
Every moment of my life from now until I die
I will think or dream of
You and fail to understand
How a perfect love can be
Confounded out of hand
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day
Nothing can be altered, oh
There is nothing to decide
No escape, no change of heart
No anyplace to hide
You are all I'll ever want
But this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts
I wish I'd never learned
What it is to be in love
And have that love returned
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this God's experiment
Oh, in which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this God's experiment
In which we have no say
(In which we have no say)
In which we're given paradise
(Given paradise) but only for a day
Simple, really, isn't it? A word or two
And then a lifetime of not knowing where or
How or why or when
You think of me or speak of
Me or wonder what befell
The someone you once loved so
Long ago so well
Never wonder what I'll feel
As living shuffles by
You don't have to ask me
And I need not reply
Every moment of my life from now until I die
I will think or dream of
You and fail to understand
How a perfect love can be
Confounded out of hand
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day
Nothing can be altered, oh
There is nothing to decide
No escape, no change of heart
No anyplace to hide
You are all I'll ever want
But this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts
I wish I'd never learned
What it is to be in love
And have that love returned
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this God's experiment
Oh, in which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is this God's experiment
In which we have no say
(In which we have no say)
In which we're given paradise
(Given paradise) but only for a day
