The Phantom of The Opera (Complete)

Wishing You Were Here Agian/A Plan

Gleb and Christine walked to the grave yard hand in hand. Christine visited her father every Sunday. Gleb opened the gates of the graveyard for her as she walked in.

"Can you wait here? I like to talk to him alone."
Christine asked.

"Yes if that's what you want." Gleb said giving her a kiss on her forehead.
As Christine started walking to her fathers grave she started to tear up remembering her father.

"You were once my one companion
You were all that mattered
You were once a friend and father
Then my world was shattered
Wishing you were somehow here again
Wishing you were somehow near
Sometimes it seem if I just dream
Somehow you would be here
Wishing I could hear your voice again
Knowing that I never would
Dreaming of you won't help me to do
All that you dreamed I could
Passing bells and sculpted angels
Cold and monumental
Seem for you the wrong companions
You were warm and gentle
Too many years
Fighting back tears
Why can't the past just die
Wishing you were somehow here again
Knowing we must say goodbye
Try to forgive teach me to live
Give me the strength to try
No more memories no more silent tears
No more gazing across the wasted years
Help me say goodbye."

Christine collapsed at her fathers grave in tears. She wished every moment of every day for him to come back and see her again.

"Wandering child . . .
So lost . . .
So helpless . . .
Yearning for my
Guidance . . ."
Christine hears the Phantom speak.

"Angel . . . or father . . .
Friend . . . or
Phantom . . . ?
Who is it there,
Staring . . . ?"

Have you forgotten your Angel . . .?

Angel oh, speak
What endless longings
Echo in this whisper?"

"Too long you've wandered in winter . . ."

"Far from my fathering gaze . . ."

"Wildly my mind beats against you . . ."

"You resist . . .
Yet your/the soul
Obeys . . ."

"Once again
She is his . . .
Once again she returns
to the arms
Of her angel
Angel or demon
Still he calls her
Luring her back, from the grave
Angel or dark seducer?
Who are you, strange
Angel ?"
Gleb says not knowing if this angel is real.

"Angel of Music!
You denied me/I denied you
Turning from true beauty . . .
Angel of Music!
Do not shun me/My protector . . .
Come to your strange
Angel . . ."

"Angel of Music!"

Christine moves towards the figure of the
Phantom.

"I am your Angel of Music . . .
Come to me: Angel of Music . . ."

"Angel of darkness!
Cease this torment!"

"I am your Angel of Music . . .
Come to me: Angel of Music . . ."

"Christine! Christine listen to me!
Whatever you may believe, this man . . .
this thing . . . is not your father!
Let her go! For God's sake, let her go! Christine !"

"Gleb!"
Christine runs into Gleb's arms afraid of what the false angel might do.
"Christine let's go!"
Gleb said as they both start running back to his house.

The next day Gleb and Christine return to the Opera house to tell the managers their new plan.

"Good morning monsieur Vaganov and Mrs. Daae." Andre greeted

"monsieur Vaganov you might want to see what just arrived." Madam Giry said walking in to the room.

Gleb walks into his office and sees a folder titled "Don juan triumphant"

"This opera just arrived this morning."

"From who?"

"The Opera Ghost."

Andre and Fermin both become stuff hearing the name.

"We have all been blind and yet the answer is staring us in the face.
This could be the chance to ensnare our clever friend. "

"We're listening. Go on. "

We shall play his game, perform his work, but remember we hold the ace.
For if Ms. Daae sings, he is certain to attend.

"We are certain the doors are barred.
We are certain the police are there
We are certain they're armed."

"The curtain falls, his reign will end."

"Gleb I'm frightened. Don't make me do this. It scares me. Don't put me through this ordeal by fire.He'll take me. I know. We'll be parted forever. He won't let me go."

Christine said as Gleb walked in to her dressing room.

"What I once used to dream, I now dread. If he finds me it won't ever end. And he'll always be there singing songs in my head. He'll always be there singing songs in my head. "

"You said yourself he was nothing but a man,
yet while he lives he will haunt us 'til we're dead."

"Twisted every way, what answer can I give?
Am I to risk my life to win the chance to live?
Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice? Do I become his prey? Do I have any choice? He kills without a thought. He murders all that's good.  I know I can't refuse, and yet I wish I could. Oh God, if I agree what horrors wait for me, in this, the Phantom's opera?"

"Christine, Christine don't think that I don't care, but every hope, and every prayer rests on you now."

In the depths of the Opera House the Phantom is planing not just watching the performance but staring in his opera with Christine."

"Seal my fate tonight. I hate to have to cut the fun short. But the jokes wearing thin, let the audience in, let my opera begin!"
