Castle in the Air

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've 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 ( won't ) be mine
But in the end he needs a little bit
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've played it differently
( Looking back, I could've played things some other way )
Learned about the man before I fell
( I was just a little careless, maybe )
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know, I know him well ( * )

Didn't I know how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart? ( * )

It took time to understand him
I know him so well



音樂劇chess裡好聽的女聲二重唱,我聽的是Elaine Paige & Babara Dickson的版本
有人稱Elaine Paige 是英國音樂劇的第一夫人,聲音可渾厚可清亮,改天來找找她的歌(cats memory)

現在,終於,我知道我了解你了
但人終究是獨立的個體
沒有人會永遠站在你這邊

歌詞也很不錯呢,來背ㄧ背好了
