You And I

[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

[ANATOLY]

Nothing has altered --

[FLORENCE]

-- Yet everything's changed

[ANATOLY]

No one stands still

[BOTH]

Still I love you completely

And hope I always will

Each day we get through

Means one less mistake

Left for the making

[ANATOLY]

And there's no return

As we slowly learn

Of the chances we're taking

[FLORENCE]

I'd give the world

To stay just as we are

It's better by far

Not to be too wise

[BOTH]

Not to realize

Where there's truth

There will be lies

[FLORENCE]

You and I

We've seen it all

Been down this road before

Yet we go on believing

[ANATOLY]

You--

[FLORENCE]

You--

[BOTH]

And I

We've seen it all

Chasing our hearts' desire

Yet I still think I'm certain

This time it will be

My happy ending

[ANATOLY, spoken]

Thank you. It's from Molokov -- you were right. She's here, landed from Moscow this morning. Bastard
