You could not give me
More than you gave me
Why was there still something in me
So discontented?
SVETLANA
I won't look back anymore
And if I do - just for a moment
FREDDIE & ANATOLY
I'll soon be happy to say
I knew her when
FLORENCE & SVETLANA
But if you hear today
I'm no longer quite so devoted
To this affair...
ALL
I've been misquoted
You and I
We've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings
[As Anatoly and Florence kiss and embrace for the last time, echoes from their past are heard�]
CHORUS
Didn't I know
How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?
Hoping to keep that best of moments
When the passion starts
Heaven help my heart
And what I'm feeling now
Has no easy explanation
Reason plays no part
I love him / her too much
When the crazy wheel slow downs
Where will I be? Back where I started
Pity the child who has ambition
Knows what he wants to do
Although the feelings run just as deep
The promise she made has grown impossible to keep
Each day got through
Means one or two
Less mistakes
Remain to be made
FLORENCE, ANATOLY, SVETLANA & FREDDIE
You and I
We've seen it all
Chasing our heart�s desire
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings
+ CHROUS
Have happy endings
[As the song comes to an end, all four turn and walk off stage alone. Freddie and Florence to up-stage
right and stage right, Anatoly and Svetlana to up-stage left and stage left. At the very end of the music,
the lights go out and we catch just a glimpse of Molokov and Walter shaking hands up-stage centre.
It seems only their story really had the happy ending!]
