Think of Me
[
Christine:]
When we've said goodbye
Remember me, once in a while
Please promise me you'll try
When you find that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me
We never said our love was evergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember
Stop and think of me
Think of all the things
We've shared and seen
Don't think about the way
Things might have been
Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me trying too hard
To put you from my mind
Recall those days
Look back on all those times
Think of the things we'll never do
There will never be a day
When I won't think of you
[
Raoul:]
Can it be, can it be Christine?
Bravo!
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were
She may not remember me
But I remember her
[
Christine:]
Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade
They have their season so do we
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think of me
Angel of Music
[
Meg:]
Christine, Christine
[
Phantom:]
Christine...
[
Meg:]
Where in the world
Have you been hiding?
Really, you were perfect
I only wish I knew your secret
Who is your great tutor?
[
Christine:]
Father once spoke of an angel
I used to dream he'd appear
Now as I sing I can sense him
And I know he's here
Here in this room
He calls me softly
Somewhere inside hiding
Somehow I know he's always with me
Here, the unseen genius
[
Meg:]
Christine you must have been dreaming
Stories like this can't come ture
Christine you're talking in riddles
And it's not like you
[
Christine:]
Angel of music
Guide and guardian
Grant to me your glory
[
Meg:]
Who is this angel?
[
Both:]
Angel of music
Hide no longer
Secret and strange, angel
[
Christine:]
He's with me even now
[
Meg:]
: All around me)
[
Meg:]
Your face Christine it's white
[
Christine:]
It frightens me (Meg: Don't be frightened)
The Mirror (Angel of Music)
[
Phantom:]
Insolent boy
This slave of fashion
Basking in your glory
Ignorant fool
This brave yought 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:]
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:]
I am your angel of music
Come to me angel of music
[
Raoul:]
Whose is that voice?
Who is that in there?
[
Phantom:]
I am your angel of music
Come to me angel of music
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 my/your voice
In one combined
The phantom of the opera is there
inside my/your mind
Chorus:
Hes there
the phantom of the opera
Beware the phantom of the opera
[
Phantom: ]
In all your fantasies you always knew
That man and mystery
[
Christine:]
Were both in you
[
Both:]
And in this labrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the opera is here/there
Inside my/your mind
[
Phantom:]
Sing, my Angel of Music!
[
christine: ]
He's there,
the Phantom of the Opera . .
Music of the Night
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write,
For I compose the Music of the Night.
Slowly, gently, Night unfurls its Splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing, Music is deceiving -
Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight…
Dare you trust the Music of the Night!
Close your eyes -
For your eyes will only tell the Truth
And the truth isn’t what you want to see…
In the darkness it’s easy to pretend
Let the truth is what it ought to be!
Softly, deftly, Music shall caress you
Hear it, feel 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!
Close your eyes -
Start a journey through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Close your eyes and Let music set you free!
Only then can you belong to me…
Floating, falling, Sweet Intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor 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!
All I ask of You
[
raoul:]
No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I’m here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm you and calm you
Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I’m here, with you and 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
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
Wishing you were somehow here again.
wishing you were somehow here again
[
christine:]
You were once
my one companion . . .
you were all
that mattered . . .
You were once
a friend and father -
then my world
was shattered . . .
Wishing you were
somehow here again . . .
wishing you were
somehow near . . .
Sometimes it seemed
if I just dreamed,
somehow you would
be here . . .
Wishing I could
hear your voice again . . .
knowing that I
never would . . .
Dreaming of you
won't help me to do
all that you dreamed
I could . . .
Passing bells
and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental,
seem, for you,
the wrong companions -
you were warm and gentle . . .
Too many years
fighting back tears . . .
Why can't the past
just die . . .?
Wishing you were
somehow here again . . .
knowing we must
say goodbye . . .
Try to forgive . . .
teach me to live . . .
give me the strength
to try . . .
No more memories,
no more silent tears . . .
No more gazing across
the wasted years . . .
Help me say
goodbye.
Masquerade
THE STAIRCASE OF THE OPERA HOUSE
[
Andre:]
M'sieur Firmin?
[
FIRMIN]
M'sieur Andre?
[
FIRMIN]
Dear Andre
what a splendid party!
[
Andre:]
The prologue
to a bright new year!
[
FIRMIN]
Quite a night!
I'm impressed!
[
FIRMIN]
Well, one does
one's best . . .
[
ANDRE/FIRMIN ](raising their glasses)
Here's to us!
[
FIRMIN]
I must say, all the same, that
it's a shame that 'Phantom'
fellow isn't here!
CHORUS
Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade . . .
Masquerade!
Hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade . . .
Masquerade!
Look around -
there's another
mask behind you!
Flash of mauve . . .
Splash of puce . . .
Fool and king . . .
Ghoul and goose . . .
Green and black . . .
Queen and priest . . .
Trace of rouge . . .
Face of beast . . .
Faces . . .
Take your turn, take a ride
on the merry-go-round . . .
in an inhuman race . . .
Eye of gold . . .
Thigh of blue . . .
True is false . . .
Who is who . . .?
Curl of lip . . .
Swirl of gown . . .
Ace of hearts . . .
Face of clown . . .
Faces . . .
Drink it in, drink it up,
till you've drowned
in the light . . .
in the sound . . .
Point of No Return.
[
DON JUAN (phantom)]
Passarino - go away!
For the trap is set and waits for its prey . . .
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:
the games we've played
till now 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 . . .
[
AMINTA (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 -
and 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 . . .
[
Phantom:]
Say you’ll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Lead me, save me from my solitude
Say you’ll want me
With you here
Beside you
Anywhere you go
Let me go too
Christine that’s all I ask of…

phantom
Stumble!
