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
any place to hide
You are all I'll ever want but this
I am denyin'
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts I
wish I 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 [God's
experiment]
In which we have no say [In which we
have no say]
In which we're given paradise [If
only for a day]
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 [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
