Leann Rimes - Written In The Stars (Duet With Elton John) Lyrics

Leann Rimes - Written In The Stars (Duet With Elton John) Video

Elton John:

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

 

Both & 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

 

Elton John:

Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide

No escape, no change of heart, nor any place 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

 

Both:

What is to be in love and have that love returned

 

Both & 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 (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

 

Sting & Chorus:

There's written all in the stars (Is it written)

There's paying for some crime (In the stars?)

There's all that we are good for (Are we paying)

A stretch of mortal time (For some crime?)

There's a God's experiment (Is that all that)

There's a given paradise (We are good for)

Don't goodbye, say goodbye (Just a stretch)

Don't goodbye (Of mortal time?)

 

Both & Chorus:

Is this god's experiment (God's experiment)

 

Elton John:

In which we have no say?

 

LeAnn Rimes:

In which we have no say?

 

Elton John:

In which we're given paradise

 

LeAnn Rimes:

Given paradise

 

Elton John:

But only

 

Both & Chorus:

For a day
