Christine looked at the Phantom as their duet finished, his hands spread out towards her. "Ten long years, Christine. Ten long years, living a mere facade of life...........Ten long years.....Ten long years......." He stepped quietly closer, looking at his feet. His green eye glinted with what could have been tears, as did his coal-black eye. "Ten long years without my Christine..."

He closed in on her, sighing softly.

"Ten long years

Living a mere facade of life!

Ten long years,

Wasting my my time,

on smoke and noise !

In my mind

I hear melodies

pure and unearthly

But I find

I can't give them

a voice

without you!!

My Christine,

My Christine!

Lost and gone,

Lost and gone!

The day starts,

The day ends.....

Time crawls by.....

Night steals in,

Pacing the floor!

The moments creep,

Yet I can't bear to sleep,

Till I hear you sing.....!

And weeks pass,

And months pass...!

Seasons fly!!

Still you don't

walk through the door!

And in a haze,

I count the silent days....

Till I hear you sing once more!

And sometimes at nighttime ....

I dream that you are there!

But wake,

holding nothing,

but the empty air.....!

And years come,

And years go,

Time runs dry!!

Still I ache down to the core!!

My broken soul

can't be alive and whole,

Till I hear you sing once more!

And music, your music,

It teases at my ear!

I turn and it

fades away....

and you're not here!!

Let hopes pass!

Let dreams pass!

Let them die!

Without you what are they for?
