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
Bravo!
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 of me
Think Of Me - London Symphony Orchestra
Performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, 'Think Of Me' is a celebrated piece of musical theatre, originally composed for the 1956 film 'The Phantom of the Opera.' The work stands as one of the most recognizable arias in the genre, characterized by its lush orchestration and soaring vocal lines that evoke themes of longing and romantic tragedy. While the orchestra provides the instrumental backbone, the piece is historically significant for its adaptation from the stage musical, where it serves as a pivotal moment in the protagonist's emotional journey. The recording captures the grandeur of the symphony's interpretation, blending classical technique with the dramatic intensity required by the operatic score. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to transcend specific theatrical contexts, becoming a staple in concert halls and film soundtracks alike. The composition remains a benchmark for orchestral arrangements in the musical theatre canon, celebrated for its melodic beauty and emotional depth.
