[00:12.422]I am here to tell you we can never meet again
[00:19.893]Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
[00:27.782]A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
[00:35.801]You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell
[00:43.690]The someone you once loved so long ago so well
[00:52.128]Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by
[01:00.017]You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
[01:08.010]Every moment of my life from now until I die
[01:16.108]I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
[01:23.736]How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
[01:30.946]Is it written in the stars?
[01:35.700]Are we paying for some crime?
[01:39.488]Is that all that we are good for
[01:43.484]Just a stretch of mortal time?
[01:46.985]For some God's experiment
[01:51.844]In which we have no say
[01:55.814]In which we're given paradise
[01:59.994]But only for a day
[02:20.030]Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
[02:27.919]No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide
[02:35.599]Oh, you are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
[02:43.853]Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
[02:51.507]What it is to be in love and have that love returned
[02:59.422]Is it written in the stars?
[03:03.550]Are we paying for some crime?
[03:07.729]Is that all that we are good for
[03:11.204]Just a stretch of mortal time?
[03:16.141]For some God's experiment
[03:19.746]In which we have no say
[03:23.795]In which we're given paradise
[03:28.131]But only for a day
