lyrics
To dream the impossible dreamTo fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my questTo 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
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
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
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
"It doesn't
matter if you win or lose if only you follow the quest." Don Quixote - Man of La Mancha
"The Impossible Dream (The Quest)" is a popular song
composed by Mitch Leigh,
with lyrics written by Joe Darion.
The song is the most popular song from the 1965 Broadway musical Man of La Mancha and is also featured in the 1972 film of the same name starring Peter O'Toole.
The song is sung all the way through once in the musical
by Don Quixote as
he stands vigil over his armor, in response to Aldonza (Dulcinea)'s question about what he means by
"following the quest". It is reprised partially three more
times – the last by prisoners in a dungeon as Miguel de Cervantes and his manservant mount the drawbridge-like prison
staircase to face trial by the Spanish Inquisition.
It was awarded the Contemporary Classics Award from the
Songwriter's Hall of Fame.[1]

The Impossible Dream is a double compilation album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in late 1971 by Columbia Records. Unlike his most recent compilation, Andy Williams' Greatest Hits, this 2-LP set focused exclusively on covers of songs made famous by other artists. The album made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated January 8, 1972, and remained there for five weeks, peaking at number 123 and it entered the UK album chart three months later, on April 29, and reached number 26 there over the course of three weeks. In 2003 these tracks were released on the Williams collection from Collectables Records entitled B Sides and Rarities.
Howard Andrew "Andy" Williams (December 3, 1927 - September 25, 2012) was an American singer who recorded eighteen Gold and three Platinum certified albums. He hosted The Andy Williams Show, a TV variety show, from 1962 to 1971, as well as numerous television specials, and owned the Moon River Theatre in Branson, Missouri, named after the song "Moon River", with which he is closely identified.
Williams was born in Wall Lake, Iowa, the son of Jay Emerson and Florence (née Finley) Williams. Williams graduated from Western Hills High School in Cincinnati. He had three older brothers — Bob, Don, and Dick.
Williams' first performance was in a children's choir at the local Presbyterian church. He and his brothers formed the Williams Brothers quartet in late 1938, and they performed on radio in the Midwest, first at WHO in Des Moines, Iowa, and later at WLS in Chicago and WLW in Cincinnati. The Williams Brothers appeared with Bing Crosby on the hit record "Swinging on a Star" (1944). They appeared in four musical films: Janie (1944), Kansas City Kitty (1944), Something in the Wind (1947) and Ladies' Man (1947). This led to a nightclub act with entertainer Kay Thompson from 1947 to 1951. The quartet stayed together until 1954.
The song is strongly associated with the 1967 Boston Red Sox, as their pennant-winning season was popularly dubbed "The Impossible Dream".
The song was also played during Sir Alex Ferguson's last home game at Old Trafford in 2013. ''The Impossible Dream -- Made Possible" reads one of the banners lauding Sir Alex Ferguson's trophy haul at Old Trafford...
On September 25, 2012, Williams died at the age of 84, having suffered from bladder cancer for a year. Purple Channel
