Written In the Stars (With Elton John) - LeAnn Rimes

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
