"The Phantom Of The Opera" Original London Cast — Prologue (The Stage Of Paris Opéra House, 1905) lyrics

Lyrics

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
Your/My spirit and my/your voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is here/there
Inside my/your mind
PHANTOM
In all your fantasies, you always knew That man and mystery
CHRISTINE
Were both in you
BOTH
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is here/there
Inside my/your mind
PHANTOM
Sing, my Angel of Music
CHRISTINE
He’s there, the phantom of the opera
PHANTOM
Sing for me!
Sing!
Sing…
Sing!
Sing!
Sing for me!
