1.15 The Phantom Confronts Christine / Madam Giry Overhears
PHANTOM How could think I wouldn't guess? How could you think I wouldn't know? Do you have something to confess? I want the truth right now if so!
CHRISTINE Listen, darling, I want you to go with Miss Giry back to the hotel...alright? I have to talk to Mr. Y alone. Meg, would you mind?
Once upon another time You left me, yet left me alone But that's not all you did You left me with a son
Ever since that other time I've wished you could somehow have known I kept the secret hid The secret my marriage forbid What else could I have done?
Just love...
PHANTOM A son...
CHRISTINE Just live
PHANTOM My son...
CHRISTINE Just give what I could give And take what little I deserve
PHANTOM Forgive me! He sees me and shuns me As you did once Take him now Take him and go Go now be free but swear one thing to me He will never ever know
CHRISTINE I swear it believe me You know you have my word And I swear this music won't Remain unheard
This music, your music Will live again Once last time just as I swore
BOTH And soul to soul we will Once more be whole
PHANTOM When I hear you sing
CHRISTINE Once more...
PHANTOM From out of ugliness such light From out of darkness such a flame In him my wrongness is made right And yet he loathes me just the same
So let him shun me in disgust Let him flee this cursed face If I must hide from him I must Yet he shall be my saving grace
For Christine, my Christine If it's true he's my reason to live Ah Christine, then our son shall have all I can give Ah Christine, all I create on this earth All that I'll never be worth All shall be his!
GIRY All shall be his... Ten long years and he casts us aside Ten whole years this is how we're repaid Ten dark years of toil and tears And now what we've worked for will go to that child
All our hopes were at last in our grasp All the dreams and the plans that we laid Everything is vanishing And we get discarded, rejected, reviled All of the bonds in between us now torn All of the love that we gave him forsworn All would be ours if that bastard had never been born!
