Lyrics

Denied by Destiny

Like heroes in a love song
With magnets in our hearts
We were star crossed lovers
Not together, not apart
We wouldn’t be those lovers who chose to challenge Fate
WE hugged, we turned, we walked away
Before it was too late
Wistful star crossed lovers, wanting what could never be
Trapped by Fate, denied by Destiny

CHORUS
A modern Casablanca, as Time and Times went by
We found our fate with other mates,
With lovers good and true
But sometimes in the deep of night, we wondered
What became of you?

Verse 2
Mem’ries of our younger days,
A story not begun
Love song verses never sung
Not lovers, never kissed

A chapter to our story
A Coda to our song
Still a star crossed memory
Of friendship sorely missed

We were star crossed lovers
Wanting what could never be
Trapped by fate, denied by destiny
CHORUS
A modern Casablanca, as Time and Times went by
We found our fate with other mates,
With lovers good and true
But sometimes in the deep of night, I wondered
What became of you?
What became of you?
