Chess - You and I Lyrics

1988 Broadway
Chess the Musical - You and I Lyrics

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

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
Each day we get through
Means one less mistake
Left for the making

ANATOLY:
And there's no return
As we slowly learn
Of the chances we're taking

FLORENCE:
I'd give the world
To stay just as we are
It's better by far
Not to be too wise

BOTH:
Not to realize
Where there's truth
There will be lies

FLORENCE:
You and I
We've seen it all
Been down this road before
Yet we go on believing

ANATOLY:
You--

FLORENCE:
You--

BOTH:
And I
We've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire
Yet I still think I'm certain
This time it will be
My happy ending

ANATOLY: (spoken)
Thank you. It's from Molokov -- you were right.
She's here, landed from Moscow this morning. Bastard
