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)
