I'm so friggin' obsessed with Phantom of the Opera songs.

Think of Me
CHRISTINE
Think of me think of me fondly,when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -please promise me you'll try.
FIRMIN
Andre, this is doing nothing for my nerves.
ANDRE
Don't fret, Firmin.
CHRISTINE
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
(Transformation to the Gala. CHRISTINE is revealed in full costume)
We never said our love was evergreen,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 things which 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,think of the things we'll never do-
there will never be a day, when I won't think of you . .
(Applause, bravos. Prominent among the bravos, those of the young RAOUL in the MANAGERS' box)
RAOUL
Can it be?
Can it be Christine?Bravo!
(he raises his opera-glasses)
What a change!
You're really not a bit the gawkish girl that once you were...
(lowering his opera-glasses)
She may not remember me, but I remember her...
CHRISTINE
We never said our love was evergreen,or as unchanging as the sea -
but please promise me,that sometimes you will think of me

Angel of Music
MEG
Where in the world have you been hiding?
Really, you were perfect!
I only wish I knew your secret!
Who is this new tutor?
CHRISTINE (abstracted, entering the dressing room)
Father once spoke of an angel . . .
I used to dream he'd appear . . .
Now as I sing,I can sense him . . .
And I know he's here . . .
(trance-like)
Here in this room he calls me softly . . .
somewhere inside . . .
hiding . . .
Somehow I know he's always with me . . .
he - the unseen genius . . .
MEG (uneasily)
Christine, you must have been dreaming . . .
stories like this can't come true . . .
Christine, you're talking in riddles . . .
and it's not like you . . .
CHRISTINE (not hearing her, ecstatic)
Angel of Music!
Guide and guardian!
Grant to me your glory!
MEG (to herself)
Who is this angel?This . . .
BOTH
Angel of Music!
Hide no longer!
Secret and strange angel . . .
CHRISTINE (darkly)
He's with me, even now . . .
MEG (bewildered)
Your hands are cold . . .
CHRISTINE
All around me . . .
MEG
Your face, Christine,it's white . . .
CHRISTINE
It frightens me . . .
MEG
Don't be frightened . . .
(THEY look at each other The moment is broken by the arrival of GIRY)

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
My/Your spirit and my/your voice
In one combined
The phantom of the opera is there inside my/your mind
CHORUS
Is that 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 labrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the opera is here/there
CHRISTINE
Inside my mind
PHANTOM
Sing, my Angel of Music!
CHRISTINE
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera . .


Music of the Night
I have brought you to the seat of sweet music's throne . . .
to this kingdom where all must pay homage to music . . .
music . . .
You have come here,for one purpose,and one alone . . .
Since the momentI first heard you sing,I have needed you with me,to serve me, to sing,for my music . . .
my music . . .
(changing mood)
Night-time 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 tothe 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 ofthe music of the night . . .
Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughtsof 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 . . .
(During all this, the PHANTOM has conditioned CHRISTINE to the coldness of his touch and her fingers are brave enough to stray to his mask and caress it, withno hint of removing it. The PHANTOM leads her to a large mirror from which he removes a dust cover and in which we see the image of CHRISTINE, a perfect wax- face impression, wearing a wedding gown. CHRISTINEmoves slowly towards it when suddenly the image thrusts its hands through the mirror towards her She faints. The PHANTOM catches her and carries her to the bed, where he lays her down.)
PHANTOM
You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night . .

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 meto hold me and to hide me . . .
RAOUL
Then say you'll share with me onelove, 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 . . .(They kiss)
Anywhere you go let me go too . . .
Love me -that's all I ask of you . .
(CHRISTINE starts from her reverie)
CHRISTINE
I must go -they'll wonder where I am . . .wait for me, Raoul!
RAOUL
Christine, I love you!
CHRISTINE
Order your fine horses!Be with them at the door!
RAOUL
And soon you'll be beside me!
CHRISTINE
You'll guard me, and you'll guide me . . .
(They hurry off. The PHANTOM emerges from behind the statue)

Andrew Lloyd Webber is a genius.
