Andrew Lloyd Webber
Think of Me
[CARLOTTA]
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—

[As CARLOTTA is singing, a backdrop crashes to the floor, cutting her off from half the cast.]

[MEG, BALLET GIRLS & ENSEMBLE]
He's here: the Phantom of the Opera…
He is with us, it's the ghost…
He's here! The Phantom of the Opera…
He is with us, it's the ghost…

[ANDRE]
Heavens! Will you show a little courtesy?

(spoken)

[FIRMIN (to MEG and the OTHERS)]
Mademoiselle, please!

[ANDRE (to CARLOTTA)]
These things do happen
[CARLOTTA]
Si! These things do happen! Well, until you stop these things happening, this thing does not happen!

[MEG]
Christine Daaé could sing it, sir

[FlRMIN]
The chorus girl?

[GIRY]
Let her sing for you, Monsieur. She has been well taught

[CHRISTINE, sung]
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

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

[RAOUL]
Can it be? Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
What a change! You're really not a bit
The gawkish girl that once you were
She may not remember me
But I remember her

[CHRISTINE]
We never said our love was evergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think…
[CHRISTINE vocalizing.]

—of me!
