Chess - You And I [Reprise] Lyrics

(feat. Idina Menzel and Josh Groban)

Florence:
This is an all too familiar scene.

Anatoly:
Life imperceptibly coming between.

Both:
Those whose love is as strong
As it could or should be.

Florence:
I'd give the world
To stay just as we are--
It's better by far

Both:
Not to be too wise
As we realize
There was truth
And there were lies.

Anatoly:
Knowing I want you,
Knowing I love you,
Cannot compare to my despair
Knowing I've lost you.

Florence:
I've been a fool to allow
Dreams to become
Great expectations.

Antoly:
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'll want to.

Anatoly: Florence:
More than I More
Should Than I should
Oh, how I love you. Oh, I love you.

Both:
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 dont know why
I'm standing by
Watching this happen.

Florence:
I won't look back any more
And if I do--
Just for a moment.

Anatoly:
I can't imagine 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--
One happy moment.

You and I,
We've seen it all,
Chasing our hearts' desire,
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings.
