phantom of the opera

Chapter 5

On the roof

Raoul: No more talk of darkness, Forget these wide-eyed fears, I'm here, Nothing can harm you, My words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, Let daylight dry your tears. I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you.

Lily: Say you love me every waking moment. Turn my head with talk of summertime. Say you need me with you now and always. Promise me that all you say is true. That's all I ask of you.

Raoul: Let me be your shelter, let me be your light, you’re safe, no one will find you, your fears are far behind you.

Lily: All I want is freedom, a world with no more night, and you always beside me, to hold me and to hide me.

Raoul: Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Let me lead you from your solitude. Say you need me with you here, beside you, Anywhere you go, let me go too. Lily, that's all I ask of you.

Lily: Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime, Say the word and I will follow you, share each day with me each night, each morning, Say you love me.

Raoul: You know I do.

Raoul and Lily: Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Raoul and Lily: Anywhere you go, let me go too. Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Lily: I must go; they’ll wonder where I am. Come with me Raoul.

Raoul: Lily, I love you...

Lily: Order your fine horses; be with them at the door,

Raoul: And soon, you’ll be beside me,

Lily: You’ll guard me and you’ll guide me.

They left and the phantom sang

The Phantom: I gave you my music, made your song take wing, and now, how you've repaid me: denied me and betrayed me. He was bound to love you when he heard you sing. Lily...

The Phantom: You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you!

At the masquerade 

Firmin: Mosieur Andre!

Andre: Mosieur Firmin!

Firmin: Dear Andre, what a splendid party!

Andre: The prologue to a bright new year!

Firmin: Quiet a night, I’m impressed!

Andre: Well, one does ones best,

Andre and Firmin: Here’s to us!

Andre: The toast of all the city,

Firmin: What a pity that the Phantom can’t be here!

Raoul and Lily: But who can name the face...

Crowd: Masquerade! Grinning yellows, spinning reds. Masquerade! Take your fill - let the spectacle astound you! Masquerade! Burning glances, turning heads. Masquerade! Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you! Masquerade! Seething shadows, breathing lies... Masquerade!You can fool any friend who ever knew you! Masquerade! Leering satyrs, peering eyes... Masquerade! Run and hide - but a face will still pursue you!
