Adam Pascal & Heather Headley - Elaborate Lives (Reprise) Lyrics

Adam Pascal & Heather Headley Lyrics

"Elaborate Lives (Reprise)"
(from "Aida (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

[Aida:]
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
Unintended emotional crimes
Take some out take others in

Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to live like that
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to love like that
I just want to keep your heart
May this confession be the start

I know you'll give me courage
To face what I must face
With all these complications
In another time and place

[Aida/Radames:]
We all lead such elaborate lives
We don't know whose words are true
An affair of the heart survives
All the pain this world can do

[Radames:]
I'm so tired of all we're going through
I don't want to live like that

[Aida:]
I'm so tired of all we're going through
I don't want to love like that
I just want to be with you
Now and forever peaceful, true
