Lloyd Webber: The Phantom of the Opera: All I Ask of You

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…
Christine:
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…
Christine:
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 —
Christine, that’s all I ask of you…
Christine:
Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime…
Say the word and I will follow you…
Raoul & Christine:
Share each day with me,
Each night,
Each morning…
Christine:
Say you love me…
Raoul:
You know I do…
Raul & Christine:
Love me — that’s all I ask of you…
Anywhere you go let me go too…
Love me — that’s all I ask of you…
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…
Christine…
Christine…
Raoul & Christine:
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…
Phantom:
You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you… !
