Written in the Stars
Elton John & LeAnn Rimes Lyrics
I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then?
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell
The someone you once loved, so long ago, so well
Never wonder what I'll 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 or dream of you and fail to understand
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?
Is this God's experiment in which we had no say?
In which we're given paradise but only for a day?
Nothing can be altered, oh, there is nothing to decide
No escape, no change of heart, nor any place to hide
You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
What it is to be in love and have that love returned
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?
Is this God's experiment in which we had no say?
In which we're given paradise but only for a day?
(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?)
Is this God's experiment in which we have no say?
In which we're given paradise but only for a day?

This is one of those Elton Jonn's songs that is very much underappreciated yet it is a very beaitiful duet with very talented LeeAnn Rimes.
Laurie Amaral
I absolutely agree Thomas. It's an absolute beautiful song, the musical notes & both of their harmonies. When I seen only 1.9M have liked this, it was shocking really! He is absolutely 1 of my all time favorites that I was lucky enough to see in 2013. While his band went on break 1/2 way through for 1/2 an hr, Elton continued solo on the piano doing his great hits. Over 3 hours of entertainment! 1 of the best concerts I've ever been to. It was almost sold out. We paid just under $700 for 2 nosebleed section tickets, but looked almost straight down on him. After We purchased, he added more dates, including 1 in my City. Lol

LeAnn low key outshines Elton in this masterpiece
Teresa Dilts
This song has more meaning than anyone realizes, I've loved this song when I first heard it. And with Elton and Leann singing together it can really hit home.
Isabelle Maltais
One of the most underrated ballads of Sir Elton...

This is a beautiful song...of a love that was not meant to be..just because you are not together, doesn't mean the love has gone away..sometimes you think of them all the time, other times it comes in waves, with songs like this its like time has stopped and your back together in that moment of time..and all you remember is the love you felt. Funny how time goes by, the memories or that sting in your heart, and the tears don't fade... Just make it more manageable with time ♥. sometimes..♥

Beautiful song from a long time ago (20 years in February 2019... where did the years go?) My first GF bought it on CD for me for our 6 month anniversary (we ultimately lasted 6 years) and I remember listening to it in the car with her. As I say, a long time ago, when I was young and still thought love could be the way it is in the movies. (I later met and married my soul mate, but lost her too, to medical negligence and a world that couldn't accept the goddess that she was).

My condolences I am 36 I have yet to find my sole mate been alone for all this time.
Chris Lucas
