Silent and still we await
A brief moment before the thrill
To ignite an everlasting reign
Where the memories of him are supreme.
Oh, if only he were a dream!
A being of perfect delight with a character forever remaining unseen
Yet one rare night there he stood aloft, an empire at his feet, never to retreat
The memories of him after such a night were never to deplete
With only his voice to conquer and reign
A smile to comfort and bewitch, setting hearts alight and causing souls to twitch
Oh, if only he were a dream!
Each and every note rendering us to surrender at Saint Cecilia’s feet
We were castaway on a symphony of paradise, a musical retreat
His intelligence and style, an effortless elegance so irresistible no-one can ignore
Such a companion so impossible to ignore
Oh, if only he were a dream!
How can it be for such a man with only voice alone to behold such a throne
A baritone to conquer and encapsulate every emotion, until all form the same devotion
Oh, if only he were a dream!
