Elton John And Leann Rimes Written In The Stars Lyrics

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 feel as living shuffles by 

 you don’t have to ask me 

 and I do not reply 

 Every moment in my life from now until I die 

 I will think or dream of you and fail to understand 

 how the 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 live in paradise 

 but only for the day. 

  

 Nothing can be altered oh there’s nothing to decide 

 no escape, no change of heart, nor any place to hide 

  

 You are all I’ll ever want 

 but this I am denied 

 Sometimes in my darkest thoughts  

 I wish I never learned  

 what it is to be n 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 live in paradise 

 but only for the day
