Lyrics Track 7: Dear Victor by Frankenstein-A New Musical World Premiere Cast

[Elizabeth]:
Dear Victor, sweet Victor
I pray this finds you well
Please know that we miss you
Much more?than?words can tell
Are?you consumed with study? Your thoughts?a world away
From all those who love you and hope for word each day
I know your pa**ion's fury, the dream you must pursue
I only ask for compromise, please realize
My dream begins with you

[Victor]:
Elizabeth, it pains me so to have to keep this secret from you
I'm so ashamed that this is all my many months of work have come to
How I long to feel your warm embrace
And kill this failure's poison taste

[Elizabeth]:
Dear Victor, please answer
With words that rea**ure

[Victor]:
I have no words to soothe her

[Elizabeth]:
My heart clings to memories
Yet longs for something more
[Victor]:
And no strength to find them now

[Elizabeth]:
Where is that man who held me?
Who made me feel his fire?
But does your silence prove it's true
I've lost you to your only true desire?

[Victor]:
Any other man would nestle in your loving arms forever!

[Elizabeth]:
Dear Victor

[Victor]:
Yet here I am, alone and lost, inside this foolish failed endeavor
Have I gone where no man should dare go?

[Elizabeth]:
What are you keeping from me?

[Victor]:
Every dream I seek, just beyond my reach!
What is missing, what is wrong?
[Spoken]:
Letters from Elizabeth, my father, Henry... why do I shut them out so?
Was it indifference, or shame?
[Elizabeth]:
Dear Victor
Without you our house is not a home
Dear Victor, return to us
I miss you so
I need you so

[Victor]:
You must never know

[Creature]:
FRANKENSTEIN!

[Victor]:
Is it possible that wretched beast is capable of learning?
Have I left my greatest work and all my dreams behind me burning?
I've done what I must!
Back to ash and dust
That which never should have lived!
