Misc Musical — Chess — You And i

FLORENCE:

This is an all too familiar scene
Life imperceptibly coming between
Those whose love is as strong as it could or should be.

ANATOLY:

Nothing has altered —

FLORENCE:

— Yet everything’s changed.

ANATOLY:

No one stands still —

BOTH:

Still I love you completely and hope I always will.

ANATOLY:

Why do we need to put love into words?
Causing confusion
We protest, explain
Reassure, in vain
Come to no conclusion.

FLORENCE:

I’d give the world to stay just as we are
It’s better by far
Not to be too wise
Not to realize

BOTH:

Where there’s truth there will be lies.

FLORENCE:

You and I —

BOTH:

We’ve seen it all
Chasing our hearts’ desire
But we go on believing
Nothing can harm us
This is forever.

SVETLANA:

You knew better than me
Where your ambitions would take us
I knew sooner than you
That those ambitions would break us
You would not believe me
Why should you believe me?
I held you back
You and your dreams.

Who needs a dream?
Who needs ambition?
Who’d be the fool
In my position?
Year after year
I’m still denying
Anything’s changed
Anything’s dying.

But then —

SVETLANA: & ANATOLY:

You and I
We’ve seen it all
Been down this road before.

SVETLANA:

But I still go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings.
