Aida - Enchantment Passing Through

Enchantment Passing Through from the Broadway musical Aida, with music and lyrics by Tim Rice and Elton John. I do not own anything. All rights belong to Tim Rice, Elton John, and Universal Distribution.

Radames:
To sail away to half discovered places
To see the secrets so few eyes have seen
To see moments of enchantment on our faces
The moments when we smile and those in between

Aida:
If I could leave this place then I'd be sailing
To corners of my land where there would be
Sweet southern winds of liberty prevailing
The beauty so majestic and so free

Radames:
There'd be no ties of time and space to bind me

Aida:
And no horizon I could not pursue

Radames:
I'd leave the world's misfortunes far behind me

Aida:
I'd put my faith and trusting in something new

Radames and Aida:
But why should I tell you this

Aida :
A stranger I just met

Radames:
A woman whom I hardly know at all and should forget

Radames and Aida:
A journey we can only dream of
Enchantment passing through
And how is it I say these things
So easily to you

Radames:
But why did I tell her this
A stranger I've just met
A woman who I hardly know at all and will forget
Anonymous and gone tomorrow
Enchantment passing through
And all I've done is tell her things
she already knew
She knew ...She knew....
