It Was Written in the Stars
Destiny Unveiled: Tony Bennett's It Was Written in the Stars
Lyrics
It was written in the stars
Destiny or fate is predetermined in the celestial bodies.
What was written in the stars shall be
Whatever destiny is written in the stars will come to pass.
It was written in the skies
The predetermined fate is also written in the skies.
That the heart and not the eyes shall see
True understanding comes from the heart, not just visual perception.
And so whether it bring joy
Whether the outcome brings joy or sorrow, it is destined to happen.
Whether it bring woe
The result, whether positive or negative, will be fulfilled.
It shall be done
The predetermined destiny will be realized.
Now suddenly I know
Realization dawns suddenly that a specific person is the destined one.
You are the one
Confirmation that the person is 'the one.'
Here as in a daydream
The current situation feels like a dream or fantasy.
By my side you stand
The person is standing by the speaker's side in this dream-like state.
Here with my tomorrows
The future is entrusted to the person's hands.
In your hands
It was written high above
Destiny has dictated that the speaker must have the love of a specific person.
That I have to have your love
Love is a necessity for the speaker to experience true freedom.
Or I'll never be free
The absence of love means the speaker will never be truly free.
And cloudy though the day be
Despite challenges, the predetermined love must be pursued.
Crazy though I may be
The speaker acknowledges their own eccentricity.
What the stars foretold shall be
What the stars have predicted about love will come to pass.
Here as in a daydream
By my side you stand
-Here with my tomorrows
-In your hands
-It was written high above
Reiteration that destiny requires the speaker to have a specific person's love.
That I have to have your love
Love is essential for true freedom to be achieved.
Or I'll never be free
Lack of love means a perpetual state of non-freedom.
And cloudy though the day be
Despite challenges, pursuing the predetermined love is necessary.
Crazy though I may be
The speaker acknowledges their own eccentricity again.
What the stars foretold shall be
Confirmation that what the stars have foretold about love will come to pass.
And so shall it be
Final affirmation that the predetermined destiny, as written in the stars, will indeed be realized.
