LYRICS :
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me and speaks my name
And do I dream again for now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind
PHANTOM
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me to glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind
CHRISTINE
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
PHANTOM
It's me they hear...
BOTH
Your/My spirit and my/your voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my/your mind
BACKGROUND
He’s there, the phantom of the opera!
CHRISTINE
He’s there, the phantom of the opera
PHANTOM
In all your fantasies, you always knew
that man and mystery . . .
CHRISTINE
. . . were both in you . . .
BOTH
And in this labyrinth,
where night is blind,
the Phantom of the Opera
is there/here inside your/my mind . . .
PHANTOM
Sing, my Angel of Music!
CHRISTINE
He's there,
the Phantom of the Opera . . .
(vocalizing)
PHANTOM
Sing, Sing
Sing for me
Sing, my Angel of music
Sing for me!
