City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, Paul Bateman, Meredith Braun and Helen Hobson - I Know Him So Well [From Chess]

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From hoping for too much for far too long

Looking back I could have played it differently
Wond a few more moments, who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?
(Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine?
(Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness he won't be mine
But in the end he needs a little bit
More than me, more security
(He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well

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
(Looking back I could have played things some other way)
Learned about the man before I fell
(I was just a little careless, maybe)
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know I know him well

Wasn't it good?
(Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine?
(Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?

Didn't I know
How it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?

Wasn't it good
Wasn't he fine
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?

But in the end he needs a little bit
More than me, more security
(He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well

It took time to understand him
I know him so well
