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...
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...

Christine:
Say you'll share with 
me one 
love, one lifetime...
say the word 
and I will follow you...

Raul & Christine:
Share each day with 
me, each 
night, each morning...

Christine:
Say you love me...

Raoul:
You know I do...

Raul & Christine:
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...

Phantom:
I gave you my music...
made your song take wing...
and now how you've 
repaid me: 
denied me 
and betrayed me...
He was bound to love you 
when he heard you sing...

Christine...
Christine...

Raoul & Christine:
Say you'll share with 
me one 
love, one lifetime...
say the word 
and I will follow you...

Share each day with 
me, each 
night, each morning...

Phantom:
You will curse the day 
you did not do 
all that the Phantom asked 
of you...!
