The Phantom of the Opera Lyrics
[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, PHANTOM, CHRISTINE & PHANTOM]
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
It's me they hear
Your spirit and my voice (My spirit and your voice)
In one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind (Inside your mind)
[ENSEMBLE]
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera
Beware the Phantom of the Opera
[PHANTOM, CHRISTINE, CHRISTINE & PHANTOM]
In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery
Were both in you
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is here (The Phantom of the Opera is there)
Inside my mind (Inside your mind)
[PHANTOM, spoken]
Sing, my angel of music
[CHRISTINE]
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera
[PHANTOM, spoken]
Sing
[CHRISTINE]
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera
Beware the Phantom of the Opera
[PHANTOM, CHRISTINE, CHRISTINE & PHANTOM]
In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery
Were both in you
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is here (The Phantom of the Opera is there)
Inside my mind (Inside your mind)
[PHANTOM, spoken]
Sing, my angel of music
[CHRISTINE]
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera
[PHANTOM, spoken]
Sing
[CHRISTINE]
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah
[PHANTOM, spoken]
Sing
[CHRISTINE]
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah
[PHANTOM, spoken]
Sing for me
[CHRISTINE]
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah
[PHANTOM, spoken]
Sing, my Angel of Music
[CHRISTINE]
Ah, ah
Ah
[PHANTOM, spoken]
Sing for me
[CHRISTINE]
Ah
Sing
[CHRISTINE]
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah
[PHANTOM, spoken]
Sing for me
[CHRISTINE]
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah
Ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah
[PHANTOM, spoken]
Sing, my Angel of Music
[CHRISTINE]
Ah, ah
Ah
[PHANTOM, spoken]
Sing for me
[CHRISTINE]
Ah
[PHANTOM]
I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne
To this kingdom where all must pay homage to music, music
You have come here for one purpose and one alone
Since the moment I first heard you sing
I have needed you with me to serve me, to sing
All my music, my music
I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne
To this kingdom where all must pay homage to music, music
You have come here for one purpose and one alone
Since the moment I first heard you sing
I have needed you with me to serve me, to sing
All my music, my music
