I KNOW HIM SO WELL

from the musical “Chess”

演唱：影子

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

Won a few more moments, who can tell?

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

Looking back I could

Have played things differently

Learn about the man before I fail

But I was ever so much

Younger then, 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
