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 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

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 is nothing to decide

No escape no change of heart no anyplace to hide

You are all I ll 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

Is this God s experiment

In which we have no say

In which we re given paradise

But only for a day

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
