CHRISTINE So it was all an empty lie One final lie to fool us all To make your death our story's 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 no longer know
PHANTOM Ah, Christine You came and found where I hid Don't you deny that you did That long ago 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 you side Tormented by my choice I couldn't see your face Yet trembled at your voice
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
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 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 As 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 good-bye 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 Oh 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
PHANTOM And now?
CHRISTINE How can you talk of now? For us... there is no now.
