I Know Him So Well (Originally from Chess)

I Know Him So Well - Musical All Star Cast

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

Won 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

Was so good

Wasn't he fine

Was so fine

Isn't it madness

He can't be mine

But in the end he needs

A little bit more than 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 things

Learned about the man

Before I fell

For me to get

But I was ever so much

Younger then

Now at least

I know I know him well

Wasn't it good

Was so good

Wasn't he fine

Was 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

Get the time to understand him

I know him so well
