[00:10.344]I am here to tell you we can never meet again
[00:16.796]Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
[00:23.640]A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
[00:30.511]You think of me or speak of me and wonder what befell
[00:37.328]That someone you once loved so long ago so well
[00:44.225]Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by
[00:50.964]You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
[00:57.835]Every moment of my life from now until I die
[01:04.653]I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
[01:11.026]How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
[01:17.453]Is it written in the stars
[01:21.266]Are we paying for some crime
[01:24.688]Is that all that we are good for
[01:28.215]Just a stretch of mortal time
[01:31.245]Or some god's experiment
[01:35.242]In which we have no say
[01:38.664]In which we're given paradise
[01:42.243]But only for a day
[01:47.049]Marry the princess, Radames. You can help my people, this could be our chance to do something important! Don't you see?
[01:55.591]Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
[02:02.409]No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide
[02:08.966]You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
[02:15.601]Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
[02:22.053]What it is to be in love and have that love returned
[02:28.323]Is it written in the stars
[02:32.032]Are we paying for some crime
[02:35.271]Is that all that we are good for
[02:38.484]Just some stretch of mortal time
[02:41.645]Or some god's experiment
[02:45.276]In which we have no say
[02:48.881]In which we're given paradise
[02:52.120]But only for a day
