A solider lies injured on a far away battle field wishing bitterly he had never taken his love for granted.
This
is a powerful accompanied number for bass (up to top E)
and has been used successfully in at least one musical theatre audition.
"Far from everything I hold dear, still alive but may die alone.
Fighting all that I have cared for, but my heart still longs for home.
I never let you see the feelings hidden deep down, too scared that you might see all I am.
But now I realize you are all I need here.
If I could tell you now, I'd share your love, I'd show you how.
If I could tell you now: how can I die when there's no time to release a love unsaid..?
There is no way to settle this, it's too late to win, a few words on a page, nothing more...
A dream of freedom, dream of peace in this war.
If I could tell you now...
Taken you for granted, you were always there, propping up a man who couldn't care.
Now I care more for you than this life....
To win the war and lose your heart, I made my choice from the start.
And as this life falls apart, I hope one day you may know...
If I could tell you now, I'd share your love, I'd show you how.
If I could tell you now, I will not die: in the end I will find love... like a bright shining light, only love will protect me.
If I could tell you now my dear: I'd take this life and throw it all away."
