"Well... you have to sing the first part father!"Kelsey explained. "Oh. All right. I suppose it won't hurt. What song dear?"I asked. "The Point Of No Return. Mother said that you two sang that song when you did "Don Juan Triumphant." "Yes. We did. I will tell you what happened after we sing little mademoiselle."
I started singing:
You have come here
In pursuit of your deepest urge
In pursuit of that wish which till now
Has been silent
Silent
I have brought you
That our passions may fuse and merge
In your mind you've already succumbed to me,
dropped all defenses
Completely succumbed to me
Now you are here with me
No second thoughts
You've decided Decided.
Past the point of no return
No backward glances
Our games of make-believe are at an end.
Past all thought of if or when
No use resisting
Abandon thought
and let the dream descend
What raging FIRE shall flood the soul
What rich desire unlocks it's door
What sweet seduction lies before us?
Past the point of no return
The final threshold
What warm unspoken secrets Will we learn
Beyond the point of no return?
Kelsey, sang the part of my angel Christine. She hit the high notes. I was surprised. A twelve-year-old girl doing that? I could not imagine. But, my daughter proved me wrong.
You have brought me
To that moment when words run dry
To that moment when speech disappears Into silence
Silence.
I have come here
Hardly knowing the reason why
In my mind I've already imagined
Our bodies entwining
Defenseless and silent,
Now I am here with you
No second thoughts
I've decided
Decided.
Past the point of no return
No going back now
Our passion-play has now at last begun
Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question
How long should we two wait before we're one?
When will the blood begin to race
The sleeping bud burst into bloom
When will the flames at last CONSUME us?
I chimed in with my daughter:
Past the point of no return
The final threshold
The bridge is crossed So stand and watch it burn
We've passed the point of no return
I was singing my part. I was worried with the ending because Christine ripped my mask off my face after "that's all I ask..."
Say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Lead me,
save me from my solitude
Say you want me With you here beside you
Anywhere you go Let me go too
Kelsey,that's all I ask of...
"Father, why did you stop?" my curious daughter asked."That's when... your mother took my mask off. " I replied.
"Oh."
"I am a monster."
"No. No your not father. You are an angel. You're the Angel of Music remember? You taught my mother to sing. That inherited into me. You made me a beautiful singer as well. You are my idol father. I love you, and I don't think you are what you say" my daughter said.
Tears filled my eyes. What she said was so beautiful. I have never been so emotional since Christine died. Kelsey was truly an angel. I walked up to Kelsey and opened up my arms. Kelsey rushed into them. We were crying together. We both embraced each other I played with my daughter's blond hair as Kelsey was hugging me tightly. We slowly stepped out of our embrace. I wiped the tears from Kelsey's cheek. She did the same thing for me. "Let's make supper now Kelsey." "Alright. I will be at the piano. I think I got a song that I can play nicely. I walked back to the counter and found a pot in the cabinet above it. Kelsey walked to the piano and sat down on the bench. She started playing. It was a familiar song... it was Love Never Dies.
