ANATOLY:
Knowing I want you
Knowing I love you
Cannot compare
With my despair
Knowing I’ve lost 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:
There will be days and nights
When I’ll want you more than I want to
More than I should
Oh, how I want you.
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
I don’t know why
I’m standing by
Watching this happen.
FLORENCE:
I won’t look back anymore
And if I do — just for a moment.
ANATOLY:
I can’t imagine a time when I won’t care.
BOTH:
But here we are today, and it’s over
Hold me and tell me
We’ll meet again
Why is it over?
You and I
We’ve seen it all
Chasing our hearts’ desire
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings.
