Music Of The Night

Night-time sharpens /heightens each sensation /Darkness stirs and /wakes imagination /Silently the senses /abandon thier 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 surround you /Feel it, hear it /closing in around 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 /Let your mind /start a journey through a strange, new world! /Leave all thoughts /of the world 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 /You alone/can make my song take flight /help me /make the music of the night

The power of love

The whispers in the morning of lovers sleeping tight /are rolling by like thunder now as I look in your eyes /I hold on to your body and feel each move you make /your voice is warm and tender a love that I could not forsake /'Cause you're my lady and I'm your man /whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can /Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms /when the world outside's too much to take /that all ends when I'm with you /even though there may be times it seems I'm far away /but never wonder where I am cause I am always by your side /'Cause you're my lady and I'm your man /whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can /We're heading for something somewhere I've never been /sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn /about the power of love /The sound of your heart beating made it clear suddenly /the feeling that I can't go on is light years away /'Cause you're my lady and I'm your man /whenever you reach for me I’ll do all that I can /We're heading for something somewhere I've never been /sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn /about the power of love

Unexpected Song:

I have never felt like this /For once I'm lost for words /Your smile has really thrown me /This is not like me at all /I never thought I'd know /The kind of love you've shown me /Now no matter where I am /No matter what I do /I see your face appearing /Like an unexpected song /An unexpected song /That only we are hearing /I don't know what is going on /Can't work it out at all /Whatever made you choose me /I just can't believe my eyes /You look at me as though /You couldn't bear to lose me /Now no matter where I am /No matter what I do /I see your face appearing /Like an unexpected song /An unexpected song /That only we are hearing /I have never felt like this /For once I'm lost for words /Your smile has really thrown me /This is not like me at all /I never thought I'd know /The kind of love you've shown me /Now no matter where I am /No matter what I do /I see your face appearing /Like an unexpected song /An unexpected song /That only we are hearing /Like an unexpected song /An unexpected song.

Papa can you hear me?/ A piece of sky

Tell me where/ Where is it written/ What is it I meant to be/ That I can't dare/ It all began the day I found/ That from my window I could only see/ A piece of sky/ I stepped outside and looked around/ I never dreamed it was so wide/ Or even half as high/ The time had come/ (Papa can you hear me?)/ To try my wings/ (Papa are you near me?)/ And even though it seemed at any moment I could fall/ I felt the most/ (Papa can you see me?)/ Amazing things/ (Can you understand me?)/ The things you can't imagine/ If you've never flown at all/ Though it's safet to stay on the ground/ Sometimes where danger lies/ There the sweetest pleasures are found/ No matter where I go/ There'll be memories that tug at my sleeve/ But there will also be/ More to question yet more to believe/ Oh tell me where/ Where is there someone who will turn to look at me/ And want to share/ My ev'ry sweet imagined possibility/ The more I live the more I learn/ The more I learn the more I realise/ The less I know/ Each step I take/ (Papa I've a voice now!) each page I turn/ (Papa I've a choice now!) each mile I travel only means/ I have more to go/ What's wrong with wanting more?/ If you can fly- then soar!/ With all there is, why settle for/ Just a piece of sky?/ Papa I can hear you/ Papa I can see you/ Papa I can feel you/ Papa watch me fly!

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 love me every waking moment /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

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 /Iet 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

CHRISTINE Say you'll share with me /one love, one lifetime /say the word and I will follow you

BOTH Share each day with me /each night, each morning

CHRISTINE Say you love me

RAOUL You know I do

BOTH 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

You'll never walk alone

When you walk through a storm /Hold your head up high /And don't be afraid of the dark /At the end of the storm /There's a golden sky /And the sweet silver song of the lark /Walk on, through the wind /Walk on, through the rain /Though your dreams be tossed and blown /Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart /And you'll never walk alone /You'll never walk alone /When you walk through a storm /Hold your head up high /And don't be afraid of the dark /At the end of the storm /There's a golden sky /And the sweet silver song of the lark /Walk on, through the wind /Walk on, through the rain /Though your dreams be tossed and blown /Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart /And you'll never walk alone /You'll never walk alone /Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart /And you'll never walk alone /You'll never walk alone

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 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

BOTH Your (My) spirit and my (your) voice /in one combined: /the Phantom of the Opera is there /inside your (my) mind

OFFSTAGE VOICES He's there /the Phantom of the Opera /Beware /the Phantom of the Opera

PHANTOM In all your fantasies /you always knew /that man and mystery

CHRISTINE were both in you

BOTH And in this labyrinth /where night is blind /the Phantom of the Opera is there (here) /inside your (my) mind

PHANTOM Sing, my Angel of Music!

CHRISTINE He's there /the Phantom of the Opera

Bring him home

God on high /Hear my prayer /In my need /You have always been there /He is young /He's afraid /Let him rest /Heaven blessed /Bring him home /Bring him home /Bring him home /He's like the son I might have known /If God had granted me a son /The summers die /One by one /How soon they fly /On and on /And I am old /And will be gone /Bring him peace /Bring him joy /He is young /He is only a boy /You can take /You can give /Let him be /Let him live /If I die, let me die /Let him live /Bring him home /Bring him home /Bring him home.

For all we know

Sweetheart the night /Is growing old /Sweetheart my love is still untold /A kiss that is never tasted /For ever and ever is wasted /For all we know /We may never meet again /Before you go, make this moment sweet again /We won't say good night until the last minute /I will hold out my hand /And my heart, my heart will be in it /For all we know /This may only be a dream /We come and we go like a ripple on a stream /So love me tonight, tomorrow was made for some /Tomorrow may never come /For all we know /So love me, love tonight, tomorrow was made for some /Tomorrow may never come /For all we know /Tomorrow may never come /For all we know
