Think of Me

CHRISTINE
Think of me
think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.

Remember me
once in a while -
please promise me
you'll try.

When you find
that, once again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free -
if you ever find
a moment,
spare a thought for me

(Transformation to the Gala.
CHRISTINE is revealed in full costume)

We never said
our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .

Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and
resigned.

Imagine me,
trying too hard
to put you
from my mind.

Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . .

We never said
our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but please promise me,
that sometimes you will think of me...

Music of the Night

Night time sharpens heightens each sensation...
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night...

Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour.
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing music is deceiving
Hard as lightning soft as candlelight
dare you trust the music of the night...

Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn't what you want to see.
In the dark it is easy to pretend
that the truth is what it ought to be.

Softly, deftly music shall caress you...
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you...

Open up your mind let your fantasies unwind
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight -
the darkenss of the music of the night...

Close your eyes start a journey through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you kenw before!
Close your eyes and let music set you free...
Only then can you belong to me...

Floating, falling sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me savour each sensation...

Let the dream begin let your darker side give in
to the power of the music that I write -
the power of the music of the night...

You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night...

Angel of Music

PHANTOM'S VOICE

Insolent boy!

This slave of fashion

basking in your glory!

Ignorant fool!

This brave young suitor,

sharing in my triumph!

CHRISTINE (spell-bound)

Angel! I hear you!

Speak -

I listen . . .

stay by my side,

guide me!

Angel, my soul was weak -

forgive me . . .

enter at last,

Master!

PHANTOM'S VOICE

Flattering child,

you shall know me,

see why in shadow I hide!

Look at your face in the mirror -

I am there inside!

(The figure of the PHANTOM becomes discernible behind the mirror)

CHRISTINE (ecstatic)

Angel of Music!

Guide and guardian!

Grant to me your glory!

Angel of Music!

Hide no longer!

Come to me, strange

angel...

PHANTOM"S VOICE

I am your Angel ...

Come to me: Angel of Music ...

(CHRISTINE walks towards the glowing, shimmering glass.

Meanwhile, RAOUL has returned. He hears the voices and is puzzled.

He tries the door It is locked)

RAOUL

Whose is that voice . . .?

Who is that in there . . .?

(Inside the room the mirror opens.

Behind it, in an inferno of white light,

stands the PHANTOM. He reaches forward

and takes CHRISTINE firmly, but not fiercely, by the wrist.

His touch is cold, and CHRISTINE gasps)

PHANTOM

I am your Angel of Music . . .

Come to me: Angel of Music . . .

(CHRISTINE disappears through the mirror,

which closes behind her The door of the dressing room suddenly

unlocks and swings open, and RAOUL enters to find the room empty)

RAOUL

Easy as it may seem, we have to constantly support and guide each other through all songs. Every score is an intricate web of trust and a delicate balance of interdependence and independence. Any slip a member makes can either spell the doom of the song, or it can be rescued by a strong, reliable safety net weaved by the other section members.

it's crappy rite?haha i was just letting my creative juices flow...i'm sure chung'll puke when he reads this..haha although i think mag low will suddenly love me or something..haha
ok enough is enough..i am done with crapping for today...tata
