Chess New York movie - You and I lyrics
rate me<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
This is an all too familiar scene<br>
Life imperceptibly coming between<br>
Those whose love is as strong as it could or should be.<br>
<br>
[ANATOLY]<br>
Nothing has altered --<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
-- Yet everything's changed.<br>
<br>
[ANATOLY]<br>
No one stands still --<br>
<br>
[BOTH]<br>
Still I love you completely and hope I always will.<br>
<br>
[ANATOLY]<br>
Why do we need to put love into words?<br>
Causing confusion<br>
We protest, explain<br>
Reassure, in vain<br>
Come to no conclusion.<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
I'd give the world to stay just as we are<br>
It's better by far<br>
Not to be too wise<br>
Not to realize<br>
<br>
[BOTH]<br>
Where there's truth there will be lies.<br>
<br>
[FLORENCE]<br>
You and I --<br>
<br>
[BOTH]<br>
We've seen it all<br>
Chasing our hearts' desire<br>
But we go on believing<br>
Nothing can harm us<br>
This is forever.<br>
<br>
[SVETLANA]<br>
You knew better than me<br>
Where your ambitions would take us<br>
I knew sooner than you<br>
That those ambitions would break us<br>
You would not believe me<br>
Why should you believe me?<br>
I held you back<br>
You and your dreams.<br>
<br>
Who needs a dream?<br>
Who needs ambition?<br>
Who'd be the fool<br>
In my position?<br>
Year after year<br>
I'm still denying<br>
Anything's changed<br>
Anything's dying.<br>
<br>
But then --<br>
<br>
[SVETLANA: & ANATOLY]<br>
You and I<br>
We've seen it all<br>
Been down this road before.<br>
<br>
[SVETLANA]<br>
But I still go on pretending<br>
Stories like ours<br>
Have happy endings.<br>
<br>
