I KNOW HIM SO WELL

 

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

Learned a little more before I fell

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 it differently

 

FLORENCE.

Looking back I could have played things some other way

 

SVETLANA.

Won a few more moments, who can tell?

 

FLORENCE.

I was just a little careless maybe

 

SVETLANA.

But I was ever so much younger then

 

FLORENCE.

Now at least I know him well

 

SVETLANA.

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.
