PHANTOM OF THE OPERA ALL I ASK OF YOU Back to Top RAOUL No more talk of darkness Forget these wide-eyed tears I'm here, nothing can harm you My words will warm and calm you Let me be your freedom Let daylight 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 RAOUL & CHRISTINE Share each day with me Each night, each morning CHRISTINE Say you love me RAOUL You know I do RAOUL & CHRISTINE 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 THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT Back to Top PHANTOM Night time sharpens Heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defenses... Slowly, gently Night unfurls its splendor 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 surround you Feel it, hear it Closing in around 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 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... WISHING YOU WERE SOMEHOW HERE AGAIN Back to Top 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... <font size=4 color=green> Angelique</font>
