FLORENCE 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 some other way.
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 But in the end he needs a little bit more Than me, more security!
