RAOUL
No more talk of darkness. Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here, nothing can harm you -my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom, Let day light dry -your tears.
I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you .
CHRISTINE
Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime .
Say you need me with you, now and always.
Promise me that all you say is true -
that's all I ask of you .
RAOUL
Let me be your shelter, let me be your light. You're safe,
No-one will find you, your fears are far behind you .
CHRISTINE
All I want is freedom, a world with no more night,
and you always beside me to hold me and to hide me .
RAOUL
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime .
Let me lead you from your solitude .
Say you need me with you here, beside you .
Anywhere you go, let me go too -
Christine, that's all I ask of you .
CHRISTINE
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime .
Say the word and I will follow you .
BOTH
Share each day with me, each night, each morning .
CHRISTINE
Say you love me .
RAOUL
You know I do .
BOTH
Love me ,that's all I ask of you .
Anywhere you go let me go too!
Love me, that's all I ask of you.
Christine
I must go.
They'll wonder where I am.
Come with me Raoul.
Raoul
Christine I love you.
Christine
Order your fine horses.
Be with them at the door.
Raoul
And soon, you'll be beside me.
Christine
You'll guard me and you'll guide me.
Phantom
I gave you my music, made your song take wing.
And now, have you've repaid me,
denied me and betrayed me.
He was bound to love you,
when he heard you sing, Christine!
(he hears Christine and Raoul singing in his mind)
You will curse the day you did not do,
All that the Phantom asked of you!
Music of the Night
Night-time sharpens,heightens each sensation .
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination .
Silently the senses
abandon their defences .
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour .
Grasp it, sense it -tremulous and tender .
Turn your face away
from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away
from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night .
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before .
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you .
Feel it, hear it, secretly possess you .
Open up your mind,
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight-
the darkness of the music of the night .
Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be !
Only then can you belong to me .
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me
savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in
to the power of the music that I write -
the power of the music of the night . . .
You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night .
Angel of Music/The Mirror
PHANTOM'S VOICE
Insolent boy! This slave of fashion
basking in your glory!
Ignorant fool! This brave young suitor,
sharing in my triumph!
CHRISTINE
Angel! I hear you!
Speak - I listen .
Stay by my side, guide me!
Angel, my soul was weak - forgive me .
Enter at last, Master!
PHANTOM'S VOICE
Flattering child, you shall know me,
see why in shadow I hide!
Look at your face in the mirror -
I am there inside!
CHRISTINE
Angel of Music!
Guide and guardian!
Grant to me your glory!
Angel of Music!
Hide no longer!
Come to me, strange angel.
PHANTOM'S VOICE
I am your Angel ...
Come to me: Angel of Music
The Point of No Return
Phantom
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 defences 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 its 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.
Christine
You have brought me to that moment where words run dry,
to that moment where speech disappears into silence, silence.
I have come here, hardly knowing the reason why.
In my mind I've already imagined our bodies entwining defenceless 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?
Both
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 Remember/Stranger Than You Dreamt It
Christine
I remeber there was mist.
Swirling mist upon a vast, glassy lake.
There were candles all around and on the lake there was a boat.
And in the boat there was a man.
Who was that shape in the shadows?
Whose is the face in the mask?
(She pulls of the phantom's mask)
Phantom
Damn you!
You little prying pandora!
Is this what you wanted to see?
Curse you!
You little lying Delilah!
You little viper!
Now you cannot ever be free!
Stranger than you dreamt it.
Can you even dare to look?
Or bear to think of me?
This loathsome gargoyle who burns in hell
but secretly yearns for heaven
secretly, secretly.
But, Christine, fear can turn to love.
You'll learn to see, to find the man behind the monster.
This repulsive carcass who seems a beast
but secretly dreams of beauty,
secretly, secretly.
Oh Christine!
Come. We must return.
Those two fools who run my theatre will be missing you.
Phantom of the Opera
Christine
In sleep he sang to me.
In dreams he came.
That voice which calls to me,
And speaks my name.
And do I dream again?
For now I find.
The Phantom of the opera is there inside my mind.
Phantom
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet.
My power over you, grows stronger yet.
And though you turn from me
To glance behind.
The phantom of the opera is there inside your mind.
Christine
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear.
I am the mask you wear.
Phantom
It's me they hear!
Both
My/Your spirit and Your/My voice
In one combine.
The phantom of the opera is there inside my/your mind.
Christine
Is there. The phantom of the opera.
Phantom
Sing my angel of music!
Sing my angel!
Sing for me!
Sing!
Sing my angel!
Sing for me!
I have brought you
To the seat of sweet music's throne.
To this kingdom where all must pay homage to music, music.
You have come here
For one purpose and one alone.
Since the moment I first heard you sing
I have needed you with me to serve me to sing
For my music, my music.
