Lyrics Why Have You Brought Me Here - Andrew Lloyd Webber, "The Phantom Of The Opera" Original London Cast, Steve Barton

Why Have You Brought Me Here

RAOUL:
Why have you brought me here?
CHRISTINE:
Can’t go back there!
RAOUL:
We must return!
Christine:
He’ll kill you!
His eyes will find us there!
RAOUL:
Christine, don’t say that.
..
CHRISTINE:
Those eyes that burn!
RAOUL:
Don’t even think it.
..
CHRISTINE:
And if he has to kill
a thousand men —
RAOUL:
Forget this waking nightmare.
..
CHRISTINE:
The Phantom of the Opera will kill.
..
RAOUL:
This phantom is a fable.
..
Believe me.
..
CHRISTINE:
.. .
and kill again!
RAOUL:
There is no Phantom of the Opera.
..
CHRISTINE:
My God, who is this man.
..
RAOUL:
My God, who is this man.
..
CHRISTINE:
.. .
who hunts to kill.
.
.?
RAOUL:
.. .
this mask of death.
.
.?
CHRISTINE:
I can’t escape from him.
..
RAOUL:
Whose is this voice you hear.
..
CHRISTINE:
.. .I never will!
RAOUL:
.. .
with every breath.
.
.?
BOTH:
And in this
labyrinth,
where night is blind
the Phantom of the Opera
is here:
inside your/my mind.
..
RAOUL:
There is no Phantom of the Opera.
..
CHRISTINE:
Raoul, I’ve been there —
to his world of unending night.
..
To a world where
the daylight dissolves
into darkness.
..
darkness.
..
Raoul, I’ve seen him!
Can I ever
forget that sight?
Can I ever
escape from that face?
So distorted,
deformed, it was hardly a face,
in that darkness.
..
darkness.
..
But his voice
filled my spirit
with a strange, sweet sound.
..
In that night
there was music
in my mind.
..
And through music
my soul began
to soar!
And I heard
as I’d never
heard before.
..
RAOUL:
What you heard
was a dream
and nothing more.
..
CHRISTINE:
Yet in his eyes
all the sadness
of the world.
..
Those pleading eyes,
that both threaten
and adore.
..
RAOUL:
Christine.
..
Christine.. .
PHANTOM:
Christine.
