I closed my eyes/ Drew back the curtain/ To see for certain/ What I thought I knew/ Far, far away/ Someone was weeping/ But the world was sleeping/ Any dream will do/ I wore my coat/ With golden lining/ Bright colours shining/ Wonderful and new/ And in the east/ The dawn was breaking/ And the world was waking/ Any dream will do/ A crash of drums/ Aflash of light/ My golden coat/ Flew out of sight/ The colours faded into darkness/ I was left alone/ When I returned/ To the beginning/ The light was dimming/ And the dream was too/ The world and I/ We are still waiting/ Still hesitating/ Any dream will do/Any dream will do/ A crash of drums/ A flash of light/ My golden coat/ Flew out of sight/ The colours faded into darkness/ I was left alone/ When I returned/ To the beginning/ The light is dimming/ And the dream is too/ The world and I/ We are still waiting/ Still hesitating/ Any dream will do/Any dream/ Any dream/ Any dream/ Any dream will do/ Any dream/ Any dream/ Any dream/ Any dream will do/Any dream/ Any dream/ Any dream/ Any dream will do
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
Wishing you were somehow here again
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.
And the money kept rollin' in (and out)
And the money kept rolling in from every side.../Eva's pretty hands reached out and they reached wide /Now you may feel it should have been a voluntary cause /But that's not the point my friends /When the money keeps rolling in you don't ask how /Think of all the people guaranteed a good time now /Eva's called the hungry to her--open up the doors! /Never been a fund like the Foundation Eva Peron! /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Rollin' on in /Rollin' on in /Rollin' on in /Rollin' on in /Rollin' in /Would you like to try a college education? /Own your landlord's house, take the family on vacation? /Eva and her blessed Fund can make your dreams come true /Here's all you have to do my friends /Write your name and your dream on a card or a pad or a ticket /Throw it high in the air and should our lady pick it /She will change your way of life for a week or even two /Name me anyone who cares as much as Eva Peron! /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Rollin' on out /Rollin' on out /Rollin' on out /Rollin' on out /Rollin' out /And the money kept rolling out in all directions /To the poor to the weak to the destitute of all complexions /Now cynics claim a little of the cash has gone astray /But that's not the point my friends /When the money keeps rolling out you don't keep books /You can tell you've done well by the happy grateful looks /Accountants only slow things down, figures get in the way /Never been a lady loved as much as Eva Peron! /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Rollin' on out /Rollin' on out /Rollin' on out /Rollin' on out/ Rollin' out /Eva! /When the money keeps rolling out you don't keep books /You can tell you've done well by the happy grateful looks /Accountants only slow things down, figures get in the way /Never been a lady loved as much as Eva Peron! /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Money money money /Rollin' on out /Rollin' on out /Rollin' on out /Rollin' on out /Rollin' out!
Nothing like you've ever known
Nothing like you've ever known/ That's the life I thought that I was gonna show you/ You and I had just begun /That's one happy ever after that I owe you/ Could have sworn we'd have made the perfect pair/ Your heart was on fire when our dream was new/ Mine was too/ Oh nothing like I've ever known/ I thought you would be my last not just my first love/ We were both expecting more/ How I miss those early days unrehearsed love/ How did we ever let our moment pass/ If I live a thousand years it still will be new to me /Oh nothing like we've ever known/ Wonder where you are and what on earth you do there/ Since then I've known many loves/ But each time I close my eyes I still see you there
Don't write a letter/ When you want to leave/ Don't call me at three a.m / From a friends apartment/ I'd like to choose/ How I hear the news/ Take me to a park/ That's covered in trees/ Tell me on a Sunday please/ Let me down easy/ No big song and dance/ No long faces/ No long looks/ No deep conversation/ I know the way/ We should spend that day/ Take me to a zoo/ That's got chimpanzees/ Tell me on a Sunday please/ Don't want to know/ Who's to blame/ It won't help knowing/ Don't want to fight day or night/ Bad enough you're going/ Don't leave in silence/ With no word at all/ Don't get mad and slam the door/ That's no way to end this/ I know how I/ Want you to say goodbye/ Find a circus/ With a flying trapeze/ Tell me on a sunday please/ I don't want to fight day or night/ Bad enough you're going/ Don't leave in silence/ With no word at all/ Don't get mad and slam the door/ That's no way to end this/ I know how I/ Want you to say goodbye/ Find a circus/ With a flying trapeze/ Tell me on a sunday please
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
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
Midnight/ Not a sound from the pavement/ Has the moon lost her mem'ry/ She is smiling alone/ In the lamplight/ The withered leaves collect at my feet/ And the wind begins to moan/ Memr'y/ All alone in the moonlight/ I can smile at the old days/ I was beautiful then/ I remember/ The time I knew what happiness was/ Let the mem'ry live again/ Every street lamp/ Seems to beat/ A fatalistic warning/ Someone mutters/ And a street lamp gutters/ And soon it will be morning/ Daylight/ I must wait for the sunrise/ I must think of a new life/ And I musn't give in/ When the dawn breaks/ Tonight will be a memory too/ And a new day will begin/ Burnt out ends of/ Smoky days/ The stale cold smell of morning/ A street lamp dies/ Another night is over/ Another day is dawning/ Touch me/ It's so easy to leave me/ All alone with my memories/ Of my days in the sun/ If you touch me/ You'll understand what happiness is/ Look a new day has begun
Michael: I want to be the first man you remember/ I want to be the last man you forget/ I want to be the one you always turn to/ I want to be the one you won't regret/ May I be first to say to you look delightful?/ May I be first to dance you round the floor?/ The very first to see your face by moonlight?/ The very first to walk you to your door?
Lucy: Well, young man, I'd be delighted!/ There is nothing I would rather do!/ What could be a sweeter memory/ Than sharing my first dance with you?
Michael: I want to be the first man you remember...
Lucy: The very first to sweep me off my feet.
Michael: I want to be the one you always turn to...
Lucy: The first to make my young heart miss a beat.
Michael: Seems the stars are far below us/ The moon has never felt so close before/ Our first dance will be forever/ And may it lead to many more!/ I want to be the first man you remember
Lucy: The very first To sweep me off my feet.
Michael: I want to be the one you always turn to /The first to make your young heart miss a beat.
Lucy: The very first...
Both: The very first...
