You and I [Reprise]

[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

[Florence]

I'd give the world

To stay just as we are--

It's better by far

[Both]

Not to be too wise

As we realize

There was truth

And there were lies

[Anatoly]

Knowing I want you

Knowing I love you

Cannot compare to my despair

Knowing I've lost you

[Florence]

I've been a fool to allow

Dreams to become

Great expectations

[Anatoly]

How can I love you so much

Yet make no move?

[Both]

There will be days and nights

When I'll want you

More than I'll want to

[Both]

More than I should

Oh, how I love you

[Both]

You and I

We've seen it all

Chasing our hearts' desire

But we go on pretending

Stories like ours

Have happy endings

[Anatoly]

You could not give me

More than you gave me

I dont know why

I'm standing by

Watching this happen

[Florence]

I won't look back any more

And if I do--

Just for a moment

[Anatoly]

I can't imagine time

When I won't care

[Both]

But here we are today

And it's over

Hold me and tell me

We'll meet again--

One happy moment

You and I

We've seen it all

Chasing our hearts' desire

But we go on pretending

Stories like ours

Have happy endings
