“Unrealized Dream”

Intro: (soft sad voice speaking part)

Far too often in life
One seeks another
Their souls touch
Working as one
But circumstances
Prevent interaction
And the creation
Of unrealized dreams
No one ever truly believed in me

Main:

Beauty in the acts of giving
Are meaningless without love
Love gives one inspiration
Without it, nothing gets done
The embers within my heart
Will never wither and die
My love for you has me consumed
Your memory, my dream lives on
Utterly and complete is my loss
Upon reflection within my soul
You will forever be the only one
My unrealized dream . . .

No one ever truly believed in me. (soft, sad voice speaking part)

May you walk in the light of happiness
May you truly be happy is my wish
May you always remember
One man made a difference
And acted selflessly
A slave out of love
To make a difference in constructive ways
In the hopes of your heart and hand
My love for you shall always linger
My dreams of you shall never let me go
For me there is never going to be another
My unrealized dream . . .

No one ever truly believed in me. (soft, sad voice speaking part)

May you truly be happy
I realize I’m forced to let you go . . .
Perhaps in time you will believe and see
That I’m your man and destiny
Perhaps in this life or the next
I will await my first chance
So for now I will simply back away . . .
My unrealized dream . . .

No one ever truly believed in me (soft, sad voice speaking part).

Silence again shall be my shield
Darkness will wrap me in its embrace
My love, I shall honor and pray for you daily
You’re in control of our destinies
Perhaps in time you’ll truly see me . . .
Until you allow for my touch again
Perhaps you’ll need me is my hope
I shall persevere, awaiting your return
My unrealized dream . . .

No one ever truly believed in me. (Soft, sad voice speaking part.)

Your phantom shall simply carry on
For you the river still flows . . .
My word given can never be broken
It’s all I truly possess and own
My love for you shall guide me
As it has done many times before
You’re the only one in my heart
My unrealized dream . . .

No one ever truly believed in me. (Soft, sad voice speaking part.)

You’re the one woman that I need
I hope in time, my love will be of worth
My challenge from the very start
Was simply that no one believes
Please don’t settle for someone less
My unrealized dream . . .

No one ever truly believed in me. (Soft, sad voice speaking part.)

Video:
This is a sad, haunting melody. (Meatloaf style)

Wardrobe:
Costume of the Phantom with mask

Set:
Rolling fog on floor.
A single black rose with a piece of black lace tied to it laying upon a small gothic style table off to the right with a lit candle and a picture of Lady Gaga in behind the rose.
One thick red velour stage curtain. Three large ornate gothic gold frame mirrors (set in center of stage) with three banks of candles (what you find in a Catholic church), one bank in front of each mirror. (Left angle, centered then right angled mirror) leave room for me to face forward between mirrors (back drop) and candle racks.

During the singing parts, I work at extinguishing the candles until, at the end, I am covered in darkness. The table with the single large candle, Lady Gaga’s picture with the rose shall be the cameras last focus point

Use Lady Gaga’s lightning bolt dress photo with the teacup.
