Chess musical sung by Elaine Paige and Barbara d***son:
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 (oh so good), wasn't it fine (oh so fine)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine
But in the end he needs a little bit more than before
Security (He needs his fantasy and freedom)
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
Wasn't it good (oh so good), wasn't it fine (oh so fine)
Isn't it madness, he can't be mine
But in the end he needs a little bit more than before
Security (He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well
