Dracula on Broadway
Scene 2 - Lucy's Bedroom, Day One - nightime.
SPLENDID
LUCY
I remember a time
A dance of enchanted nights, of lucky days and dreams
I'll never forget, I'll never forget
Such love
Splendid
Beauty was mine
Simply a precious gift I never knew I had
No passing days
Slipping away
Timeless,
Splendid
How could so much be taken
Wrenched from my arms
An angel to heaven
I had so much to do
So many loves
So many sorrows
All of my splendid moments stolen
Taken away
I would dance in the moon
Pale as a fading star
That quickly falls from view
Now in the night I shrink from its light
Frightened
Suspended
Sleeping dreams give no peace
Never so visited by raging fires of blood
Hot brutal winds
Echoes of sins
Frightened
Suspended
[Lucy picks up the mirror, begins to look at her pale, sickly face.]
Crystal face in the mirror
Where are my eyes
Where is my soul?
Just splinters of broken glass
So many lives
So many chances
All of my splendid moments shattered
Taken away
Taken away
[Lucy
lets the photo drop to the floor, picks up the hand mirror and b
egins to weep.]
