You and I (Reprise) lyrics
by Idina Menzel
[FLORENCE]
This is an all too familiar scene
[ANATOLY]
Life imperceptibly coming between
[FLORENCE & ANATOLY]
Those whose love is as strong
As it could or should be
[FLORENCE]
I'd give the world
To stay just as we are—
It's better by far
[FLORENCE & ANATOLY]
Not to be too wise
As we realize
There was truth
And there were lies
[ANATOLY]
Knowing I want you
Knowing I love you
Cannot compare to 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?
[FLORENCE & ANATOLY]
There will be days and nights
When I'll want you
More than I want to
More than I should
Oh, how I loved you
You and I
We've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy ending
[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 any more
And if I do—
Just for a moment
[ANATOLY]
I can't imagine time
When I won't care
[FLORENCE & ANATOLY]
But here we are today
And it's over
Hold me and tell me
We'll meet again
One happy moment
You and I
We've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings
