THINK OF ME___________________________________________________________

CHRISTINE

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 things

which 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 seemed 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

of 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 here,

Inside my mind.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

BOTH

My/Your spirit and

my/your voice

In one combined

The Phantom of the Opera

is here

Inside my/your mind.

CHRISTINE

He's there,

The Phantom of the Opera

...

CHRISTINE

Those who have seen

your face,

Draw back in fear.

I am the mask you wear,

PHANTOM

It's me they hear

(CHRISTINE begins to

vocalize strangely)

PHANTOM

Sing for me!

Sing, my angel of music...

Sing, my angel...

Sing, my angel!

Sing for me!

(etc...)

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 here,

Inside your mind

THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT

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

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

And you'll live as you've

never lived before...

Softly, deftly

music shall caress you,

feel it, hear it,

secretly posses 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.

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.....

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!

Let your mind start to journey though 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;

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.

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'll love me ev'ry

waking

moment;

CHRISTINE

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.

Say the word and I will follow you.

TOGETHER

Share each day with me, each night, each morning.

CHRISTINE

Say you love me...

RAOUL

You know I do.

TOGETHER

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.

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 you solitude.

Say you need me with you, here beside you,

anywhere you go, let me go too,

that's all I ask of you.

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.

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.

Help me say goodbye!

WANDERING CHILD

PHANTOM

Wandering child,

So lost, so helpless

Yearning for my guidance

CHRISTINE

Angel or father?

Friend or phantom?

Who is it there, staring?

PHANTOM

Have you forgotten your Angel?

CHRISTINE

Angel, oh, speak

What endless longings

Echo in this whisper!

PHANTOM

Too long you've wandered in winter

Far from my fathering gaze...

CHRISTINE

Wildly my mind beats against you...

PHANTOM

You resist....

RAOUL [spoken]:

No, Christine, wait!

Wait!

CHRISTINE [spoken]:

Raoul!

RAOUL [spoken]:

Whatever you may(Draws sword) believe,

this man - this thing - is not your father!

PHANTOM/CHRISTINE

Yet your/the soul obeys...

Angel of Music,

You/I denied me/you!

Turning from true beauty!

Angel of Music!

Do not shun me/My protecter!

Come to your/me strange Angel...

PHANTOM

I am your Angel of Music...

Come to me; Angel of Music....

DON JUAN / THE POINT OF NO RETURN

PHANTOM:

Passarino - Go away for the trap it 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” 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

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

Defenseless 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?

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:(soft and sort of saddened)

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…

(Christine tears the mask, showing his face to the audience)
