Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From 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 (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 more than me
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 it differently
Learned about the man before I fell
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 more than me
More security (He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well
It took time to understand him
I know him so well

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back, I could have done 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, Wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
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 it differently
Learned about the man before I fell
But I was ever so much younger then

Wasn't it good (oh so good), Wasn't it fine (so fine)
Isn't it madness he can'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 fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took some to understand him
Hoo ooh I know him so well

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back, I could have done 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, Wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom

It took some to understand him
Hoo ooh I know him so well

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

[FLORENCE]
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness
He can't be mine?

[SVETLANA]
Oh so good
Oh so fine

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.

[FLORENCE]

Looking back I could
Have played things
Some other way

[SVETLANA]

Looking back I could
Have played it
Differently

Learned about the man
Before I fell

[FLORENCE]
I was just a little
Careless maybe

[SVETLANA]
But I was
Ever so much
Younger then
Now at least

[FLORENCE]
Now at least
I know him well

[BOTH]
I know I know him well

[SVETLANA]

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness

[FLORENCE]

Oh so good

How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?

[FLORENCE]

Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?

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

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't give 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?

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally,
Perfect situations must go wrong,
But this have never yet prevented me,
Wanting far to 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 men,
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 madness he can't be mine,

I know him so well,

No one is completely on your side,
And though I'd move my world to be with him,
Still the gap between us is too wide,

Won a few more moments who can tell,
(I was just a little girl)
But I was ever so much younger then,

Wasn't it good,
Oh so good,
Wasn't he fine,
Oh so fine,
Isn't madness he won't be mine,
Didn't I know,

Why am I falling apart?

Wasn't he good,
Wasn't he fine,
