| GUSTAVE:
|
| Ooh… ooh…ooh…ooh…
|
| CHRISTINE:
|
| Gustave, could you hand me those earrings? |
| The diamond ones on the left.
|
| There, how do I look?
|
| GUSTAVE:
|
| You look so beautiful
|
| So very beautiful
|
| Like a queen in a book
|
| CHRISTINE:
|
| You too are beautiful
|
| So very beautiful
|
| Once this performance is through
|
| We’ll spend some time
|
| Just us two
|
| Won’t that be fun?
|
| GUSTAVE:
|
| (Father! Doesn’t Mother look lovely tonight?)
|
| RAOUL:
|
| (Indeed she does. As lovely as she looked the very first time I came to her
|
| dressing room door.)
|
| CHRISTINE:
|
| (And look at you, Raoul! You look just like that handsome boy in the opera box.
|
| The one who would always toss me a single red rose.)
|
| RAOUL:
|
| Please, Gustave, if you don’t mind
|
| Would you wait outside a while?
|
| GUSTAVE:
|
| (May I go exploring? By myself?)
|
| CHRISTINE:
|
| Yes, but stay backstage my dear
|
| When I’m finished, meet me here
|
| GUSTAVE:
|
| (I will.)
|
| RAOUL:
|
| Since our wedding day
|
| Things have gone astray
|
| CHRISTINE:
|
| (Raoul…)
|
| RAOUL:
|
| I’m not proud of the way that I’ve acted
|
| CHRISTINE:
|
| (We've both been…)
|
| RAOUL:
|
| The demands I’ve made
|
| All the hopes mislaid
|
| I’m aware of the price they’ve exacted
|
| Though I’ve no right to ask you to
|
| There’s one thing more I’d have you do
|
| If you love me as I love you
|
| CHRISTINE:
|
| (Anything, darling.)
|
| RAOUL:
|
| Don’t sing the song, dear
|
| CHRISTINE:
|
| (What? But Raoul…)
|
| RAOUL:
|
| You have to know something’s terribly wrong, dear
|
| CHRISTINE:
|
| But I have to do this
|
| It’s what we agreed to
|
| RAOUL:
|
| That hell spawn demon
|
| He’s had us playing his game all along, dear
|
| CHRISTINE:
|
| Let me just get through this
|
| Listen, please. |
| I need to
|
| RAOUL:
|
| You need so much, it’s true
|
| And I’ve denied you
|
| You need the man you knew
|
| Back here beside you
|
| You’ll have him back, I vow
|
| Just ask it of me
|
| But we must leave here now
|
| If you still love me
|
| CHRISTINE:
|
| (Do you mean it, Raoul? Truly?)
|
| RAOUL:
|
| (I've booked a passage for three to Cherbourg on the Atlantic Queen.
|
| It leaves in an hour, we’ll have just enough time. |
| I beg you. |
| Let’s be on it,
|
| for both our sakes. |
| And the child’s.)
|
| Leave this place behind
|
| PHANTOM:
|
| He knows his love is not enough
|
| He knows he isn’t what you need
|
| He knows you’re made of finer stuff
|
| I think on that, we’re all agreed
|
| It’s time to leave him in the dust
|
| It’s time to be who you should be
|
| It’s time to do now as you must
|
| And set the music in you free
|
| In moments, mere moments
|
| Drums will roll
|
| There you’ll stand
|
| Just like before
|
| The crowd will hush
|
| And then in one sweet rush
|
| I will hear you sing once more
|
| And music, our music
|
| Will swell and then unwind
|
| Like two strands of melody
|
| At last entwined
|
| Fulfill us, complete us
|
| Make us full
|
| Seal our bond forever more
|
| Tonight, for me
|
| Embrace your destiny
|
| Let me hear you sing
|
| Once more!
|
| STAGEHAND:
|
| (Miss Daaé, it’s time.)
|
| CHRISTINE:
|
| Twisted in every way
|
| What answer can I give?
|
| I know I can’t refuse
|
| And yet, I wish I could
|
| Oh, god
|
| RAOUL:
|
| (offstage)
|
| Christine, Christine
|
| Don’t think that I don’t care
|
| PHANTOM:
|
| But every hope and every prayer
|
| Rests on you now |
