The 17th song on the Broadway recording of the musical Chess. The original recording, performed by Elaine Paige...
[FLORENCE]
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back I could have played it differently
Learned a little more before I fell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well
Wasn't it good?
[SVETLANA]
Oh, so good!
[FLORENCE]
Wasn't he fine?
[SVETLANA]
Oh, so fine!
[FLORENCE]
Isn't it madness?
[BOTH]
He can't be mine
[FLORENCE]
But in the end, he needs a little bit more than me
More security
[SVETLANA]
He needs his fantasy and freedom
[FLORENCE]
I know him so well
[SVETLANA]
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
[SVETLANA & (FLORENCE)]
Looking back, I could have played it differently. (Looking back, I could have played things some other way)
Won a few more moments, who can tell? (I was just a little careless)
But I was ever so much younger then, (Maybe. But at least I know him well.)
Now at least
[BOTH]
I know I know him well
[SVETLANA]
Wasn't it good?
[FLORENCE]
Oh, so good!
[SVETLANA]
Wasn't he fine?
[FLORENCE]
Oh, so fine!
[SVETLANA]
Isn't it madness?
[BOTH]
He won't be mine
Didn't I know
How it would go
If I knew from the start?
Why am I falling apart?
[SVETLANA]
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
[FLORENCE]
Isn't it madness?
[BOTH]
He won't be mine
[FLORENCE]
But in the end, he needs a little bit more than me
More security
[SVETLANA]
He needs his fantasy and freedom
[FLORENCE]
I know him so well
[SVETLANA]
It took time to understand him
[BOTH]
I know him so well
