Through the Seasons

(When you were away) when I was away
Every day (every day)
I read the words you penned to me
I hungered for your warm embrace
To hear your voice, and see your face

Through the seasons
While you were off learning
I was yearning
To share my days with you

As the time flew
Daily William seemed older
Ever brighter, ever bolder
But couldn't stay up so late for you

You've come back to me, home again
So, I can be in your arms again
Taken by your sweet charms again

You've (I've) come back again, home again
Following your graduation
Inducted into the company of learned men

Through the seasons
I could feel you near me
And though you couldn't hear me
I was here with you

I don't know the reason
I am not that clever
But if we could live forever
I'd spend it all with you

I've come back to start my career
I will be working not far from here
In the old shack atop the hill
I'll make my laboratory there

You're (I'm) back, diploma now in your (my) hand
Back here, home on your native land
Standing distinguished and grand

My friend, Victor
I really missed you
Missed the days of playing games
And chasing after dames
Catching and collecting those butterflies and insects

Lepidoptera and arthropods

You used them to study, and I, to scare the girls

I would like to propose a toast to our son, Victor
Whose academic achievements would have allowed you to boast
May he apply his knowledge wisely
And for the benefit of the whole human race

I will make you proud, Mother

Let's raise our glasses high, and drink to my son, Victor
Here, here to Victor!
My oldest dearest friend

Let's drink to Victor
Here, here to our dear Victor
Long live Victor
And the house of Frankenstein!

Long live the house of Franken
Long live the house of Franken
Long live the house of Frankenstein
Let's raise our glasses high now
Let's raise our voices high now

William is asleep

Here's to Victor Frankenstein

Now that you've got your degree
Perhaps, it's time to take the next big step of your life

I can't wait to assemble my own laboratory
But first, there is something that I must do
Elizabeth, will you be my wife?

Yes, Victor, yes!

How about a wedding in the Spring
Will give a year to arrange everything
Just need my gorgeous bride
And my handsome groom
Oh, what an exquisite ring

How exciting, planning the details
From the gown to the buffet
But, that (but, that) can surely wait until another 'nother day
Right now (right now), it's time to celebrate
This joyous homecoming
And joyous engagement day
