Lyrics:

Aida
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 and wonder what befell
That someone you once loved so long ago so well

Radames
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
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?
Or some God's 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 could be our chance to do something important. Don't you see?

Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
No escape, no change of heart, nor anyplace to hide

Radames
Oh, you are all I ever want, but this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd 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 some stretch of mortal time?

Aida Radames
Or some God's experiment
In which we have no say?
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day?
