Written In The Stars ("Aida"

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 and wonder what befell
That someone you once loved, so long ago so well

Ever 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?
Or some 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 is nothing to decide
No escape
No change of heart
Nor any place to hide

Oh, you are all I ever want
But this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts
I wish I'd 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?
Or some God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day?

In which we're given paradise
But only for a day
