Radames:
We all lead such elaborate lives
wild ambitions in our sights
How an affair of the heart survives
days apart and hurried nights
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't want to live like that
seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't want to love like that
I just want our time to be
slower and gentler, wiser,free
We all live in extravagant times
playing games we can't all win
Unintened emotional crimes
Take some out, take others in
I'm so tired of all were going through
I don't want to live like that
I'm so tired of all were going through
I don't want to love like that
I jsut want to be with you
Now and forever ,peaceful,true
This may not be the moment
to tell you face to face
But I could wait forever
for the perfect time and place
Aida & Radames:
We all lead such elaborate lives
We don't know whose words are true
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives
Hard to know who's loving who
Aida:
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to live like that
Radames:
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to love like that
I just want to touch your heart
May this confession
Radames and Aida:
be the start
