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?
