"A Performance for All Time"

 

 


 

To "Auld Lang Syne"
 

Should Michael’s Phantom be forgot
And ne’er more brought to mind?
The flames of passion we have sought,
His portrayal not thought upon?

Should Michael’s Phantom be forgot,
Tho' it caused so many wars?
The fans fought hard, a noble lot,
Against an unyielding foe.

 

A performance for all time, my lord,
A performance for all time;
How can you ne’er more reflect
On Michael’s performance for all time?
 

But remembrance is the ceaseless quest,
Past the story’s end in time.
A film with honor we’d be blest,
With Michael’s performance for all time.

 

How comes it, then, my worthy lord,
Who once cast our Phantom friend?
We’ll ne’er let the story die,

‘Twill be told until the end. 

 

The fans will speak from ‘round the world,
And hopeful hearts will shine;
Ne’er forget the effort and the roar
For Michael’s performance for all time!

 

 So we'll record here all our wars
And battles fought so fine;
We wrote it down with song and rhyme
About a performance for all time.


We'll keep on fighting 'till the end
For Michael’s performance for all time!

 



Happy New Year to all from Di!  :)
