I KNOW HIM SO WELL
FLORENCE
Svetlana?
SVETLANA
Florence
FLORENCE
I don't know what to say
SVETLANA
There is nothing. I have seen what he really needs and I can'tgive that to him - you can
FLORENCE
You don't understand. What he really needs is you and his family-
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?
SVETLANA
Oh so good
FLORENCE
Wasn't he fine?
SVETLANA
Oh so fine
FLORENCE
Isn't it madness?
BOTH
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
Looking back I could have played it differently
FLORENCE
Looking back I could have played it differently
SVETLANA
Learned about the man before I fell
FLORENCE
I was just a little careless maybe
SVETLANA
But I was ever so much younger then
FLORENCE
Now at least I know him well
SVETLANA
Now at least
BOTH
I know I know him well
SVETLANA
Wasn't it good?
FLORENCE
Oh so good
SVETLANA
Wasn't he fine?
FLORENCE
Oh so fine
SVETLANA
Isn't it madness
BOTH
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
BOTH
He won't be mine?
FLORENCE
Isn't it madness
BOTH
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
BOTH
I know him so well.
