Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by tim rice<br>Produced by peter collins and wilbur rimes<br>Duet with leann rimes<br>Available on the album elton john and tim rice's aida<br><br>I am here to tell you we can never meet again<br>Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then<br>A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when<br>You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell<br>The someone you once loved so long ago so well<br><br>Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by<br>You don't have to ask me and I need not reply<br>Every moment of my life from now until I die<br>I will think or dream of you and fail to understand<br>How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand<br><br>Is it written in the stars<br>Are we paying for some crime<br>Is that all that we are good for<br>Just a stretch of mortal time<br><br>Is this god's experiment<br>In which we have no say<br>In which we're given paradise<br>But only for a day<br><br>Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide<br>No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide<br>You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied<br>Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned<br>What it is to be in love and have that love returned
