You And I

Florence
This is an all to familiar scene
Life imperceptibly coming betwwen
Those whose love is as strong as it could or should be

Anatoly
Nothing has altered -

Florence
- Yet everythings 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 and Anatoly
You and I
We've seen it all
Been down this road before

Svetlana
But I go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings
