You and I (From the Musical "Chess")

You and I - The New Musical Cast

Knowing I want you

Knowing I love you

I can't explain why I remain

Careless about you

I've been a fool to allow

Dreams to become great expectations

How can I love you so much yet make no move

I pray the days and nights

In their endless weary procession

Soon overwhelm my sad obsession

You and I

We've seen it all

Chasing our hearts' desire

But we go on pretending

Stories like ours

Have happy endings

You could not give me

More than you gave me

Why should there be something in me

Still discontented

I won't look back anymore

And if I do -- just for a moment

I'll soon be happy to say I knew her when

But if you hear today

I'm no longer quite so devoted

To this affair I've been misquoted

You and I

We've seen it all

Chasing our hearts' desire

But we go on pretending

Stories like ours

Have happy endings
