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,
thats all I ask
of you...
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...
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...
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...
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...!
1. This song/ poem is a passionate poem/song nonetheless. Its a peak in the musical it shows Christine and Raoul's love for each other and the Phantoms jealousy and anger towards Christine for loving Raoul. Its one of my favorite songs just because the words are so passionate and beautiful. And the Phantoms reaction in it just makes it more real.


2. The imagery brought out in the song is amazing. I listened to it on my ipod and read along and not because I had seen it before. But I could picture what was happening just by reading along with the music. I could feel Christine and Raoul's love as well as the Phantoms anger. Just be what words were used. For example the phantoms lines "You will curse the day you did not do all the phantom asked you to do." It clearly shows how the phantom is filled with sadness and hate you can just see and feel his sadness by reading this line.
