Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
What it is to be in love and have that love returned
Given paradise
Is it written in the stars
You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
Is that all that we are good for
But only for a day
Is this God's experiment
Just a stretch of mortal time
But only for a day
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Are we paying for some crime

But only for a day
In which we're given paradise
Just a stretch of mortal time
Is that all that we are good for
In which we have no say
You are all I'll ever want but this I am denied
Is it written in the stars
Is that all that we are good for
Every moment of my life from now until I die
Is this God's experiment
Are we paying for some crime
The someone you once loved so long ago so well
No escape, no change of heart, no any place to hide
Nothing can be altered, oh, there is nothing to decide
You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
Is it written in the stars
Songwriters: Elton John, Tim Rice
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
Is this God's experiment
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
In which we're given paradise
Are we paying for some crime
Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by
In which we're given paradise
Just a stretch of mortal time
In which we have no say
In which we have no say
In which we have no say
