Before the parade passes by/ Before it goes on, and only I'm left /Before the parade passes by /I've gotta get in step while there's still time left /I'm ready to move out in front /Life without life has no reason or rhyme left /With the rest of them /With the best of them /I wanna hold my head up high /I need got a goal again /I need got a drive again/ I wanna feel my heart coming alive again /Before the parade passes by/ Before the parade passes by /I've gotta go and taste Saturday's high life /Before the parade passes by /I've gotta get some life back into my life /I'm ready to move out in front /I've had enough of just passing by life /With the rest of them /With the best of them /I can hold my head up high /For I've got a goal again /I've got a drive again /I wanna feel my heart coming alive again /Before the parade passes by /When the parade passes by /Listen and hear that brass harmony growing /When the parade passes by /Pardon me if my old spirit is showing /All of those lights over there /Seem to be telling me where I'm going/ When the whistles blow /And the cymbals crash /And the sparklers light the sky /I'm gonna raise the roof /I'm gonna carry on /Give me an old trombone /Give me an old baton/ Before the parade passes by!
Love/ Love changes everything/ Hands and faces/ Birth and sky/Love/ Love changes everything/ How you live and/ How you die/ Love/ Can make the summer fly/ Or a night seem like a lifetime/ Yes love/ Love changes everything/ Now I tremble/ At your name/ Nothing in the world will ever be the same/Love/ Love changes everything/ Days are longer/ Words mean more/ Love/ Love changes everything/ Pain is deeper/ Than before/ Love will turn your world around/ And that world will last forever/ Yes love/ Love changes everything/ Brings you glory/ Brings you shame/ Nothing in the world will ever be the same/ Love/ Into the world we go/ Planning futires/ Shaping years/ Love/ Bursts in and suddenly/ All our wisdom disappears/ Love/ Makes fools of everyone/ All the rules we make are broken/ Yes love/ Love changes everyone/ Live or perish/ in it's flame/ Love will never never let you be the same/ Love will never never let you be the same
DALE 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
MICHAEL 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
DALE Those who have seen your face /draw back in fear /I am the mask you wear
MICHAEL 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
MICHAEL In all your fantasies /you always knew /that man and mystery
DALE 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
MICHAEL Sing, my Angel of Music!
DALE He's there /the Phantom of the Opera
MICHAEL 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
DALE 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
MICHAEL Let me be your shelter /let me be your light /You're safe: No-one will find you /your fears are far behind you
DALE All I want is freedom /a world with no more night /and you always beside me /to hold me and to hide me
MICHAEL 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

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
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
Somebody's down to their last dime/ Somebody's running out of time/ Not too far from here/ Somebody's got nowhere left to go/ Somebody needs a little hope/ Not to far from here/ And I may not know their name/ But I'm praying just the same/ That you'll use me Lord to wipe away a tear/ 'Cause somebody's crying/ Not too far from herre/ Somebody's troubled and confused/ Somebody's got nothing left to lose/ Not too far from here/ Somebody's forgotten how to trust/ And somebody's dying for love/ Not too far from here/ It may be a strangers face/ But I'm praying for your grace/ To move in me/ And take away the fear/ 'Cause somebody's hurting/ Not to far from here/ Help me lord/ Not to turn away from pain/ Help me not to rest/ While those around me weep/ Give me your strength and compassion/ When somebody finds/ The road of life too steep/ Somebody's troubled and confused/ Somebody's got nothing left to lose/ Not too far from here/ Somebody's forgotten how to trust/ And somebody's dying for love/ Not too far from here/ It may be a strangers face/ But I'm praying for your grace/ To move in me/ And take away the fear/ 'Cause somebody's hurting/ Not to far from here/ Now I'm letting down my guard/ And I'm opening up my heart/ Help me speak your love/ To ev'ry needful ear/ Someone is waiting/ Not to far from here/ Someone is waiting/ Not too far from here
Someone to hold you too close /Someone to hurt you too deep /Someone to sit in your chair /And ruin your sleep And make you aware of being alive /Someone to need you too much /Someone to know you too well /Someone to pull you up short /And put you through hell /And give you support for being alive-being alive /Make me alive, make me confused /Mock me with praise, let me be used /Vary my days, but alone is alone, not alive! /Somebody hold me too close /Somebody force me to care /Somebody make me come through /I'll always be there /As frightened as you of being alive/ Being alive, being alive! /Someone you have to let in /Someone whose feelings you spare /Someone who, like it or not /Will want you to share a little, a lot of being alive /Make me alive, make me confused /Mock me with praise, let me be used /Vary my days, but alone is alone, not alive! /Somebody crowd me with love /Somebody force me to care /Somebody make me come through /I'll always be there /As frightened as you to help us survive/ Being alive, being alive, being alive, being alive
Papa, can you hear me? /Papa, can you see me? /Papa can you find me in the night? /Papa are you near me? /Papa, can you hear me? /Papa, can you help me not be frightened? /Looking at the skies I seem to see /A million eyes which ones are yours? /Where are you now that yesterday /Has waved goodbye /And closed its doors? /The night is so much darker/ The wind is so much colder/ The world I see is so much bigger /Now that I'm alone. /Papa, please forgive me. /Try to understand me /Papa, don’t you know I had no choice? /Can you hear me praying/ Anything I'm saying /Even though the night is filled with voices? /I remember everything you taught me /Every book 1've ever read/ Can all the words in all the books /Help me to face what lies ahead? /The trees are so much taller /And I feel so much smaller/ The moon is twice as lonely/And the stars are half as bright /Papa, how I love you/ Papa, how I need you. /Papa, how I miss you /Kissing me good night...
