It's me!

I saw the musical "Chess" last night, it was pretty cool. Apparently the lead female, Florence, was a freshman, and damn was she good. Anyways, the second to last song really got to me when I heard it, and I wanted to post the lyrics. And now I'm off to take a music appreciation test over the middle ages through baroque.

"You and I (reprise)"

[ANATOLY]
Knowing I want you
Knowing I love you
Cannot compare
With 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 want to
More than I should
Oh, how I want you.

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 don't know why
I'm standing by
Watching this happen.

[FLORENCE]
I won't look back anymore
And if I do -- just for a moment.

[ANATOLY]
I can't imagine a 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
Why is it over?

You and I
We've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings.
