Andrew Lloyd Webber
The Beauty Underneath (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
[PHANTOM]
Play that again.
He, how could it be, he hears the music?
[GUSTAVE]
You, you hear it too, you hear the music?
(vocalizing)
[PHANTOM]
Now sing.
Sing, sing for me!
[PHANTOM]
Have you ever yearned to go
Past the world you think you know?
Been enthralled to the call
Of the beauty underneath?
Have you let it draw you in
Past the place where dreams begin?
Felt the full breathless pull
Of the beauty underneath?
Can you taste it?
Have you heard its music and embraced it?
Do you crave the visions that have chose you?
Do you wonder why it chose you?
Like it knows you
Knows you have a darkness running through you
If you're not afraid, I'll show it to you
[GUSTAVE]
You don't fear the darkness, do you?
[PHANTOM]
Have you found yourself beguiled
By the dangerous and wild
And been hooked as you looked
At the beauty underneath?
Have you felt your senses surge
And surrender to the urge
Tell me you know it too
Know the beauty underneath
If it's in you
In your skin, and bone, and blood, and sinew
If it doesn't frighten you and shake you
There are places I can take you
[GUSTAVE]
I can taste it
I have heard the music and embraced it
Even in the wonders that you've showed me
[PHANTOM]
It's as if he's always known me
It seems so beautiful
So strange yet beautiful
Everything's just as you said
[PHANTOM]
And he's so beautiful
Perhaps too beautiful
What I suspect cannot be
Still he seems so much like me
I can't look away
[BOTH]
Can you taste it?
You have seen the darkest and embraced it
Don't you crave the visions that have chose you?
Don't you wish that it had chose you?
[GUSTAVE]
Why he knows us?
Knows our skin, and bone, and blood, it's in you
[PHANTOM]
Knows the things I recognized within you
Are you willing to continue?
[BOTH]
But it knows you
Knows your skin, and bone, and blood, and sinew
Knows you have no beauty deep within you
Knows the madness can continue
[PHANTOM]
And you're ready
[GUSTAVE]
Yes
[PHANTOM]
Come closer
[GUSTAVE]
Yes
[PHANTOM]
You've no fear of the beauty underneath
You can face it
[GUSTAVE]
Yes
[PHANTOM]
You can take it
[GUSTAVE]
Yes
[PHANTOM]
You see through to the beauty underneath
To the splendor
[GUSTAVE]
To the splendor
[PHANTOM]
And the glory
[GUSTAVE]
And the glory
[PHANTOM]
To the truth of the beauty underneath
[GUSTAVE]
The beauty underneath
[PHANTOM]
You'll accept it
[GUSTAVE]
Yes
[PHANTOM]
You'll embrace it
[GUSTAVE]
Yes
[PHANTOM]
Let me show you the beauty underneath
To the splendor
[GUSTAVE]
To the splendor
[PHANTOM]
And the glory
[GUSTAVE]
And the glory
[PHANTOM]
To the truth of the beauty underneath
[GUSTAVE]
The beauty underneath
[PHANTOM]
You'll accept it
[GUSTAVE]
Yes
[PHANTOM]
You'll embrace it
[GUSTAVE]
Yes
[PHANTOM]
Let me show you the beauty under-
[GUSTAVE]
