(Darion / Leigh)

 

Informação:

Joe Darion e Mitch Leigh escreveram The Impossible Dream para o musical de 1965, The Man of La Mancha, no qual foi apresentada por Richard Kiley. No ano seguinte, Jack Jones teve um êxito número um com The Impossible Dream na tabela Easy-Listening com a sua versão da canção (Kapp 755). Outras versões de The Impossible Dream incluem a de Roy Hamilton (RCA 47-8813) em 1966, a de Roger Williams (Kapp 907) em 1968 e a dos Hesitations (Kapp 899) também em 1968. Elvis nunca chegou a gravar The Impossible Dream em estúdio. Só exitem em disco versões ao vivo da canção, todas de 1972.

 

Letra:


To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the un-rightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
Oh, this is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage

To reach the unreachable star

The world will be better for this

Oh, that one man scorned and covered with scars

He still strove with his last ounce of courage

To reach the unreachable star!
