[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
