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
I need not reply
Every moment of my life
From now until I die
I would think or dream of you
And fail to understand
How a perfect love
Can be confounded out of our hands
Chorus:
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 ist nothing to decide
No escape
No change of heart
No any place to hide
You are all I've ever wanted
But this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts
I wish I'd never learnt
What it is to be in love
And have that love returned
Repeat Chorus
Writer(s): Elton John, Tim Rice
