Elton John - 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

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
