Lyrics / Songtext Titelsong Theme "The Phantom of the Opera":
Christine:
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:
My/Your spirit and my/your voice
In one combined
The phantom of the opera is there
inside my/your mind
Chorus:
Is that the phantom of the opera?
Beware 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 labrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the opera is here/there
Christine:
Inside
my mind Phantom: Sing
, my Angel of Music!
CHRISTINE He's there,
the Phantom of the Opera. .
