Lyrics

[00:14.14] I am here to tell you we can never meet again
[00:21.69] Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
[00:29.78] A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
[00:37.22] You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell
[00:45.12] The someone you once loved so long ago so well
[00:53.37] Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by
[01:01.15] You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
[01:09.02] Every moment of my life from now until I die
[01:16.73] I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
[01:24.40] How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
[01:31.56] Is it written in the stars
[01:35.86] Are we paying for some crime
[01:39.84] Is that all that we are good for
[01:43.77] Just a stretch of mortal time
[01:47.25] Is this God's experiment
[01:51.64] In which we have no say
[01:55.73] In which we're given paradise
[01:59.74] But only for a day
[02:11.77] Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
[02:19.47] No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide
[02:27.35] You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
[02:35.21] Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
[02:42.59] What it is to be in love and have that love returned
[02:49.89] Is it written in the stars
[02:54.36] Are we paying for some crime
[02:58.63] Is that all that we are good for
[03:02.79] Just a stretch of mortal time
[03:05.99] Is this God's experiment
[03:10.49] In which we have no say
[03:14.39] In which we're given paradise
[03:18.48] But only for a day
[03:23.70] Is it written in the stars
[03:26.05] Are we paying for some crime
[03:30.01] Is that all that we are good for
[03:34.04] Just a stretch of mortal time
[03:37.25] Is this God's experiment
[03:41.68] In which we have no say
[03:46.22] In which we're given paradise
[03:49.88] But only for a day
