Chess - You And I (Reprise) lyrics

rate me

ANATOLY:

Knowing I want you

Knowing I love you

I can't explain

Why I remain

careless about you

FLORENCE:

I've been a fool to allow

Dreams to become

Great expectations

ANATOLY:

How can I love you so much

Yet make no move?

BOTH:

I pray the days and nights

In their endless weary procession

Soon overwhelm my sad obsession

You and I we've seen it all

Chasing our hearts' desire

But we go on pretending

Stories like ours

Have happy endings

ANATOLY:

You could not give me

More than you gave me

Why should there be

Something in me

Still discontented

FLORENCE:

I won't look back anymore

And if I do-just for a moment

ANATOLY:

I'd soon be happy to say

I knew her well

BOTH:

But if you hear today

I'm no longer

Quite so devoted to this affair

I've been misquoted

You and I

We've seen it all

Chasing our hearts' desire

But we go on pretending

Stories like ours

Have happy endings
