I Know Him So Well (Chess)

London Theatre Orchestra & Cast - I Know Him so Well (From "Chess")(Original)

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

One of 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 can't be mine

But in the end he needs

A little bit more than me

More she needs security

He needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

Noone in your life is with you constantly

Noone 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

Learn about the man before i fell

I was just a little careless

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 she needs security

He needs his fantasy and freedom

I know him so well

It took time to understand him

I know him so well
