Song lyrics

[Elton John:]
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

[LeAnn Rimes:]
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

[Elton John and LeAnn Rimes together:]
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?

[Elton John:]
Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide

[LeAnn Rimes:]
You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned

[LeAnn Rimes and Elton John together:]
What it is to be in love and have that love returned

[Chorus is repeating]

[Choir:]
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?

[Elton John and LeAnn Rimes together:]
Is this God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day?







Written in the Stars

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, 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
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day
