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…
Oh, 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
Say you love me…
You know I do…
Love me, that’s all I ask of you.
Christine, I love you….
You alone can make my song take flight
It’s over now the Music of the Night!
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
Your chains are still mine, you belong to me!
Take her, forget me,
Forget all of this…
Leave me alone, forget all you’ve seen…
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!
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
Help me say goodbye!
Pitiful creature of darkness,
What kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you,
You are not alone…
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
This face, which earned a mother’s fear and loathing
A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing
Pity comes too late
Turn around and face your fate
An eternity of THIS before your eyes…
