Andrew Lloyd Webber
“Ah, Christine!”
PHANTOM:
Ah, Christine, my Christine
What a triumph you gave me tonight
My Christine
All the dark silent years now set right!
Ah, Christine
CHRISTINE:
The song was beautiful
It sounded beautiful
Every note, every word
And it felt beautiful
And I felt beautiful
PHANTOM/CHRISTINE:
Lost in the music once more
Feeling it rise up and soar
Alive once again
CHRISTINE (Reading):
My dearest wife
RAOUL:
Little Lotte, I beg you, forgive me
CHRISTINE:
Raoul, no...
RAOUL:
Little Lotte
Ah, what fools we once were
Long ago in our youth
In Paris at the opera
Romantic idiot
CHRISTINE:
Those two people are gone
CHRISTINE/RAOUL:
Now I must go
Our choices are made
The opera is done
The last notes have been played
RAOUL:
May your angel of music
Watch over you now
And give you what I wish
I gave you somehow
Yours, in regret -
CHRISTINE:
Raoul
