Written in the stars Songtext

Simple really isn't it

A word or two and than

A live time of not knowing

Where or how or why or when

You think of me

Or speak of me

And wonder what befall

That someone you once loved

So long ago, so well


Radames:

Never wandered what I 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 and dream of you

And fail to understand

How a perfect love can be

Confounded out of hand



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

For some Gods experiment

In which we have no say

In which we're given paradise

But only for a day



Aida

Marry the princess, Radames

You can help my people

This is or change to do

Something important

Don't you see



Nothing can be altered

There is nothing to decide

No escape, no change of heart

No any place to hide



Radames:

Oh, you are all I ever want

But this I'm denied

Sometimes in my darkest thoughts

I wish I never learned



Radames/Aida:

What it is to be in love

And have that love returned



Aida:

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



Radames/Aida:

For some gods experiment

In which we have no say

In which we're given paradise

But only for a day
