THINK OF ME
CHRISTINE:
Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye
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...
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
PHANTOM:
Brava, brava, bravissimma...
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
MEG:
Christine, you must have been dreaming.
Stories like this can't come true.
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? This...
BOTH:
Angel of Music! Hide no longer!
Secret and strange angel...
CHRISTINE:
He's with me, even now
MEG:
Your hands are cold
CHRISTINE:
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:
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
THE 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:
Your (my) spirit and my (your) voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there, inside my (your) mind...
CHORUS:
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera...
CHRISTINE:
He's 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...
THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT
PHANTOM:
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses...
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...
I REMEMBER...
CHRISTINE:
I remember, there was mist, swirling mist upon a vast glossy 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?
PHANTOM:
Damn you! You little prying Pandora!
You little demon! Is this what you wanted to see?
Curse you! You little lying Delilah!
You little viper! Now you cannot ever be free!
Damn you! Curse you!
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 and calm 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
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
ALL I ASK OF YOU (REPRISE)
PHANTOM:
I gave you my music, made your song take wing
And now, how you've repaid me, denied me and betrayed me
He was bound to love you when he heard you sing...
Christine...
You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you!
THE POINT OF NO RETURN
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 defenses, 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" and "when," no use resisting
Abandon thoughts, and let the dream descend
What raging fire shall flood the soul? What rich desire unlock its door?
What sweet seduction lies before us?
CHRISTINE:
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 want me with you, here beside you
Anywhere you go let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of...
DOWN ONCE MORE/TRACK DOWN THIS MURDERER
PHANTOM:
Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair!
Down we plunge to the prison of my mind!
Down that path into darkness deep as hell!
CHRISTINE:
Have you gorged yourself at last, in your lust for blood?
Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?
PHANTOM:
That fate, which condemns me to wallow in blood
Has also denied me the joys of the flesh
This face, the infection which poisons our love
Pity comes too late, turn around and face your fate
An eternity of this before your eyes!
CHRISTINE:
This haunted face holds no horror for me now
It's in your soul that the true distortion lies
PHANTOM:
Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest!
Sir, this is indeed an unparalleled delight!
I had rather hoped that you would come
And now my wish comes true, you have truly made my night!
RAOUL:
Free her! Do what you like, only free her!
Have you no pity?
PHANTOM:
Your lover makes a passionate plea!
CHRISTINE:
Please, Raoul, it's useless
RAOUL:
I love her! Does that mean nothing?
I love her! Show some compassion
PHANTOM:
The world showed no compassion to me!
RAOUL:
Christine, Christine... Let me see her
PHANTOM:
Be my guest, sir
Monsieur, I bid you welcome!
Did you think that I would harm her?
Why should I make her pay for the sins which are yours?
Start a new life with me
Buy his freedom with your love!
Refuse me, and you send your lover to his death!
This is the choice
This is the point of no return!
CHRISTINE:
The tears I might have shed for your dark fate
Grow cold, and turn to tears of hate...
PHANTOM:
You try my patience, make your choice!
CHRISTINE:
Pitiful creature of darkness, what kind of life have you known?
God, give me courage to show you you are not alone...
MOB:
Track down this murderer - he must be found!
Who is this monster, this murdering beast?
Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground!
Revenge for Piangi! Revenge for Buquet!
Too long he's preyed on us but know we know
The Phantom of the Opera is there, deep down below
PHANTOM:
Take her… Forget me… Forget all of this…
Go now… don't let them find you! Take the boat… Swear to me never to tell
The secret you know of the angel in hell! Go now, go now and leave me!
Christine, I love you...
CHRISTINE:
Share each day with me each night, each morning...
PHANTOM:
You alone can make my song take flight
It's over now, the music of the night... |
