Finale (The Impossible Dream) Lyrics – Man of La Mancha

DON QUIXOTE
(courteously, but without recognition.)
Now then. What is it you want?

ALDONZA
Don't you know me?

DON QUIXOTE
Should I?

ALDONZA
I am Aldonza!

DON QUIXOTE
I'm sorry. I do not recall anyone of that name.

ALDONZA
Sancho knows. Please, my Lord.

DON QUIXOTE
Why did you say "my lord"? I am not a lord.

ALDONZA
You are my lord, Don Quixote!

DON QUIXOTE
Don Quixote? You must forgive me, I have been ill...
I'm confused by shadows. It is possible I knew you once,
but I do not remember

ALDONZA
Please! Try to remember!

DON QUIXOTE
Is it so important?

ALDONZA
Everything. My whole life.
You spoke to me and everything was... different!

DON QUIXOTE
I spoke to you?
ALDONZA
And you looked at me! A
nd you called me by another name!
