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>
