These are the lyrics from the soundtrack. They are in the order that they are in the soundtrack. If you want what they
are actually saying during its song you can look at the script to get exactly what you want.
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me fondly 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?
(Spoken)
Bravo!
(sung)
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 seasons so do we.
But please
promise me that sometimes
You will think...
(Opera singing)
Of me!
Angel of Music
PHANTOM'S VOICE: Brava, brava, bravissima . . .
MEG:
Christine, Christine...
(Phantom: Christine...)
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
he - the unseen genius
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(to herself):
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...
Angel of Music Reprise
phantom:
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:
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
I am your Angel of Music
Come to me: Angel of Music
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 ...
christine/phantom:
Your/My
spirit and your/my voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your/my mind
christine:
He's
there, the Phantom of the Opera
phantom:
Sing, my Angel of Music
Sing, my Angel
Sing for me
Sing,
my Angel
Sing for me
Music of the Night
phantom:
Nighttime 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
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in
this darkness that 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 life 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
Prima Donna
Your public needs you!We need you, too! Would you not rather have your precious little ingenue? Signora, no!
the world wants you! Prima donna first lady of the stage! Your devotees are on their knees to implore you ! Can
you bow out when they're shouting your name? Think of how they all adore you! Prima donna, enchant us once again!
Think of your muse ...And of the queues round the theatre! Can you deny us the triumph in store? Sing,
prima donna, once more! Christine spoke of an angel ... Prima donna your song shall live again You took a
snub but there's a public who needs you! She has heard the voice of the angel of music Those who hear your voice
liken you to an angel! Think of their cry of undying support ! Is this her angel of music ...? We get our
opera She gets her limelight! Follow where the limelight leads you! Is this ghost an angel or a madman ...? Angel
or madman ...? Leading ladies are a trial! Heaven help you, those who doubt ... You'll sing again, and to unending
ovation! Orders! Warnings! Lunatic demands! This miscasting will invite damnation ...Tears ... oaths ... Iunatic
demands are regular occurrences! Bliss or damnation? Which has claimed her ...? Think how you'll shine in that
final encore! Sing, prima donna, once more! Oh fools, to have flouted his warningsSurely, for her sake ... Surely
he'll strike back ...Surely there'll be further scenes - worse than this! Think, before these demands are rejected! ...
I must see these demands are rejected! ... if his threats and demands are rejected Who'd believe a diva
happy to relieve a chorus girl, who's gone and slept with the patron? Raoul and the soubrette, entwined in love's
duet! Although he may demur, he must have been with her! Christine must be protected! fortunata! Non ancor
abbandonata! You'd never get away with all this in a play, but if it's loudly sung and in a foreign tongue it's
just the sort of story audiences adore, in fact a perfect opera! His game is overThis is a game you cannot hope to
win! And in Box Five a new game will begin ...For, if his curse is on this opera ... But if his curse is on this opera
... Prima donna the world is at your feet! A nation waits, and how it hates to be cheated! The stress that falls
upon a famous prima donna! Terrible diseases, coughs and colds and sneezes! Still, the dryest throat will reach the
highest note, in search of perfect opera! ... then I fear the outcome ... Christine plays the Pageboy, Carlotta plays the Countess ... ...
should you dare to ...... when you once again ... Light up the stage with that age old rapport! Sing, prima donna,
once more! So, it is to be war between us! If these demands are not met, a disaster beyond your imagination will occur!
Once more!

All I Ask of You Reprise
PHANTOM:
I gave you my music . . .
made your song take wing . . .

repaid me:
denied

Paper faces on parade
Masquerade
Hide your

World will never find you

Every face a different shade

Another

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
But who can name the face?
Masquerade
Grinning
yellows, spinning reds
Masquerade
Take your fill
let the spectacle astound you
Masquerade
Burning glances,
turning heads
Masquerade
Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you
Masquerade
Seething shadows breathing
lies
Masquerade
You can fool any friend who ever knew you
Masquerade
Leering satyrs, peering eyes
Masquerade
Run
and hide, but a face will still pursue you

They'll see

Well then let them see
It's an engagement, not a crime

Wishing You Were 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
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 that may fuse and merge
In your mind you’ve already succumbed to me
Drop
all defences
Completely succumb 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
a thought of “if” or “when”
No use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend
What
raging fires 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 when words run dry
To that moment when 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
phantom
& christine:
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…
Down Once More
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!
Why, you ask,
was I bound and chained
in this cold
and dismal place?
Not for any
mortal sin, but the
wickedness of
my abhorrent face!
MOB
Track
down this murderer!
He must be found!
PHANTOM
Hounded out by
everyone!
Met with hatred
everywhere!
No
kind word from
anyone!
No compassion
anywhere!
Christine, Christine . . .
Why, why . . .?
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 . . .
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!
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?
Order your fine horses now!
Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes!
Nothing can save you now -
except
perhaps Christine . . .
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 . . .
RAOUL
Christine,
forgive
me please forgive me . . .
I did it all
for you, and all for
nothing . . .
CHRISTINE
Farewell
my
fallen idol
and false friend . . .
We had such hopes
and now those hopes are shattered
PHANTOM
Too Late for turning back,
Too late for prayeres and useless pity -
RAOUL
Say you love him
and my life is over
For either way you choose
He has to win!
PHANTOM
All hope of cries for help,
No Point in fighting
For either way
you choose,
you cannot win!
So, do you end
your days with me,
or do you send
him
to his grave?
RAOUL
Why make her lie
to you, to save
me?
CHRISTINE
Angel
of Music . . .
PHANTOM
Past the point
of no return -
Raoul
Christine say no!
Christine
Who deserves this?
Raoul
Don't throw your life away
For my sake!
Phantom
His life is now the prize
Which you must earn!
Raoul
I fought so hard to free you...
Phantom
You've passed the point
of no return
Christine
Angel of Music
You decieved me...
I gave you my bind blindly
Phantom
You try my patience
Make your choice
Christine
Pitiful creature of darkness
What kind of life have you known?
God gave me courage to show you
That you are not alone!
(They kiss)
Mob
Track down this murderer!
Phantom
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 secrets that you
know of the Angel and Hell!
Mob
The Phantom of the Opera is there deep down below!
Phantom
Go now! Go now and leave me! Masquerade paper face on parade
Masquerade. Hide your face the world will never find you.
Christine I Love You...
Christine (background)
Say you'll share with me
one love, one lifetime
Raoul (background)
Say the word and I will follow you
Christine (background)
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!
Learn to be Lonely
Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your
way in darkness
Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one
companion
Never dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you
You’ve always known your heart was
on its own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to Be lonely
Learn how to love life that
is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived life can be loved alone
