I Know Him So Well Lyrics by Judy Kuhn, Marcia Mitzman Gaven

Chess (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

0

[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
[FLORENCE & SVETLANA]
Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)
Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine)
Isn't it madness
[FLORENCE & SVETLANA]
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
[SVETLANA & FLORENCE]
Looking back I could have (Looking back I could)
Played it differently (Have played things some other way)
Won a few more moments, who can tell? (I was just a little careless)
But I was ever so much younger then (Maybe, but at least I know him well)
Now at least
[SVETLANA & FLORENCE]
I know I know him well
[SVETLANA & FLORENCE]
Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)
Wasn't he fine? (Oh, so fine)
Isn't it madness
[SVETLANA & FLORENCE]
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
[SVETLANA & FLORENCE]
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
[SVETLANA & FLORENCE]
I know him so well
