[CHRISTINE]
So it was all an empty lie
One final lie to fool us all
To make your death our story's end
To put your life beyond recall
How dare you come and claim me now?
Invade my life, ensnare my voice

[PHANTOM]
If you could know the pain I've known
Then you would know I had no choice
My Christine...

[CHRISTINE]
Your Christine
I was yours one brief night long ago
Long ago
With a man that I no longer know

[PHANTOM]
Ah, Christine
You came and found where I hid
Don't you deny that you did
That long ago night

Once there was a night beneath a moonless sky
Too dark to see a thing, too dark to even try
[CHRISTINE]
I stole to your side
Tormented by my choice
I couldn't see your face
Yet trembled at your voice

And I touched you

[PHANTOM]
And I felt you

[BOTH]
And I heard those ravishing refrains

[CHRISTINE]
The music of your pulse

[PHANTOM]
The singing in your veins

[CHRISTINE]
And I held you

[PHANTOM]
And I touched you
[BOTH]
And with every breath and every sigh

[CHRISTINE]
I felt no longer scared

[PHANTOM]
I felt no longer shy

[BOTH]
At last our feelings bared, beneath a moonless sky

[CHRISTINE]
And blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul
I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole

[PHANTOM]
Cloaked under the night, with nothing to suppress
A woman and a man, no more and yet no less
And I kissed you

[CHRISTINE]
And caressed you

[BOTH]
And the world around us fell away
We said things in the dark, we never dared to say
[PHANTOM]
And I caught you

[CHRISTINE]
And I kissed you

[PHANTOM]
And I took you

[CHRISTINE]
And I begged you

[BOTH]
With a need too urgent to deny
As nothing mattered then, except for you and I
Again and then again, beneath a moonless sky


[PHANTOM]
And when it was done, before the sun could rise
Ashamed of what I was, afraid to see your eyes
I stood while you slept and whispered a good-bye
And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky

[CHRISTINE]
And I loved you, yes, I loved you
I'd have followed anywhere you led
I woke to swear my love, and found you gone instead

[PHANTOM]
And I loved you

[CHRISTINE]
And I loved you

[PHANTOM]
And I left you

[CHRISTINE]
How I loved you

[PHANTOM]
And I had to both of us knew why

[CHRISTINE]
We both knew why

[BOTH]
And yet I won't regret from now until I die
The night I can't forget beneath a moonless sky

[PHANTOM]
And now?

[CHRISTINE]
How can you talk of now? For us... there is no now.
