Frankenstein-A New Musical World Premiere Cast
Track 7: Dear Victor
[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 passion'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 reassure

[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!
