CHRISTINE: So it was all an empty lie One final lie to fool us all To make your death, our stories end To put your life beyond recall How dare you come and claim me now Invade my life Ensnare my Voice
PHANTOM: If you could know the pain I've known Then you would know I had no choice My Christine CHRISTINE: Your Christine? I was yours one brief night long ago Long ago, with a man that I know longer know PHANTOM: Ah, Christine! You came and found where I hid Don't you deny that you did That long ago night
CHRISTINE:that night Once there was a night Beneath a moonless sky Too dark to see a thing Too dark to even try
CHRISTINE:I stole to your side to tell you i must go I couldn't see your face Yet sensed you even so And I touched you
PHANTOM:And I felt you BOTH:And I heard those ravishing refrains CHRISTINE:The music of your pulse PHANTOM:The singing in your veins
CHRISTINE:And I held you PHANTOM:And I touched you CHRISTINE:And embraced you PHANTOM:And I felt you
BOTH:And with every breath and every sigh CHRISTINE:I felt no longer scared PHANTOM:I felt no longer shy BOTH:At last our feelings bared Beneath a moonless sky
CHRISTINE:And blind in the dark As soul gazed into soul I looked into your heart And saw you pure and whole
PHANTOM:Cloaked under the night With nothing to suppress A woman and a man No more and yet no less
PHANTOM:And I kissed you CHRISTINE:And caressed you BOTH:And the world around us fell away We said things in the dark We never dared to say
PHANTOM:And I caught you CHRISTINE:And I kissed you PHANTOM:And I took you CHRISTINE:And I begged you
BOTH:With a need too urgent to deny And nothing mattered then Except for you and I Again and then again Beneath a moonless sky
PHANTOM:And when it was done before the sun could rise Ashamed of what I was, afraid to see your eyes I stood while you slept And whispered a goodbye And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky
CHRISTINE:And I loved you Yes, I loved you I'd have followed anywhere you led I woke to swear my love And found you gone instead!
PHANTOM:And I loved you CHRISTINE:(and I loved you) PHANTOM:And I left you CHRISTINE:(how I loved you)
Phantom:And I had to, both of us knew why CHRISTINE:We both knew why BOTH:And yet I won't regret From now until I die The night I can't forget Beneath a moonless sky
