Amneris' Letter

Elton John

Lyrics by Tim Rice

I'm sorry for everything I've said

And for anything I forgot to say too

When things get so complicated

I stumble, at best, muddle through

I wish that our lives could be simple

I don't want the world, only you

I wish I could tell you this face to face

But there's never the time, never the place

So this letter will have to do

I love you
