The Phantom Of The Opera
Sarah Brightman · Other Songs - Sarah Brightman
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
PHANTOM/CHRISTINE:
My/Your spirit and your/my voice
In one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your/my mind
VOICES OFF STAGE:
He's there
The Phantom of the Opera
Beware
The Phantom of the Opera
PHANTOM:
In all your fantasy
You always knew
That man and mystery
CHRISTINE:
Were both in you
TOGETHER:
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
CHRISTINE:
Inside my mind
PHANTOM (SPOKEN):
Sing, my angel of music
CHRISTINE:
He's there
The Phantom of the Opa...
PHANTOM (SPOKEN):
Sing
CHRISTINE:
Ra...
[While Christine continues]
PHANTOM (SPOKEN):
Sing
...
Sing for me
...
Sing, my angel of music
...
Sing for me
[Christine hits high C]
