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 ever green, 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 ways 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
Thinks of the things, we’ll never do. There will never be a day when I won’t think of you
Flower fade, the fruit of summer fade. They have the season so do we. But please promise me that sometimes You will think of me!
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
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
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
Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear. I am the mask you wear It’s me they hear …
Your/My spirit and your/my voice in one combined. The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your/my mind
He’s there, the Phantom of the Opera
Sing, my Angel of Music Sing, my Angel Sing for me. Sing, my Angel Sing for me…
THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT
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
SECRETLY,SECRETLY
Damn you!You little prying Pandora! You little demonIs this what you wanted to see?
Curse you!You little lying Delilah! You little viper Now you cannot ever be free!
Damn you …Curse you …
Stranger than you dreamt it, Can you even dare to look or bear to think of me
this loathsome gargoyle, who burns in bell,but secretly yearns for heaven,
secretly, secretly secretly …Christine …
Fear can turn to love , you’ll learn to see to find the man behind the monster
this repulsive carcass, who seems a beastbut secretly dreams of beauty,
secretly .secretly secretly … Oh, Christine …
ALL I ASK OF YOU
Say you love me every waking moment,turn my head with talk of summer time…
Say you need me with you now and always…
Promise me that all you say is true that’s all I ask of you… Let me be your shelter, let me be your light.
You’re safe: No one will find you your fears are far behind you…
All I want is freedom,a world with no more night… and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me…
Then say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime… let me lead you from your solitude….
Say you need me with you here, beside you…anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that’s all I ask of you…
Say you’ll share with me one love, one life time… Say the word and I will follow you…
Share each day with me,each night, each morning…Say you love me…You know I do…
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…
ANGLE OF MUSIC
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,So lost, so helpless Yearning for my guidance Angel or father?Friend or phantom?Who is it there, staring?
Have you forgotten your Angel? Angel, oh, speak What endless longings Echo in this whisper
Too long you’ve wandered in winter Far from my fathering gaze
Wildly my mind beats against you You resistYet your/the soul obeys…
Angel of Music!You denied me/I denied you Turning from true beauty
Angel of Music!Do not shun me/My protector Come to me/your strange Angel…
I am your Angel of Music…Come to me; Angel of Music
THE POINT OF NO RETURN
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 defences 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?
You have brought me To that moment when words run dry To that moment when speech disappears Into silenceSilence.
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 thoughtsI’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?
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.
THE END
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.
