Andrew Lloyd Webber
The Point of No Return (female version)
[Chorus, Phantom and Christine]
Past the point of no return
No backward glances
Our games of make-believe are at an end
Past all though of "if" or "when"
No use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend
(Wildly my mind beats against you)
(But my soul obeys as I,)
(Abandon thought and down into the labyrinth we descend)
What raging fire shall flood the soul?
What rich desire unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction lies before us?
Past the point of no return
The final threshold
(Angel of music, I gave you my soul)
What warm, unspoken secrets will we learn?
Beyond the point of no return
[Verse, Christine and Phantom, Harmony and Choir]
You have brought me
To that moment when words run dry
To that moment when speech disappears into silence
Silence
I have come here
Hardly knowing the reason why
In my mind I've already imagined
Our bodies entwining, defenseless and silent
(I have brought you) (Wandering girl!)
(That our passions may fuse and merge)
(In your mind you've already succumbed to me)
(Dropped all defenses)
Now I am here with you
No second thoughts
I've decided
(You are here with me)
(No second thoughts)
Decided
[Chorus, Christine and Phantom, Harmony and Choir]
Past the point of no return
No going back now
Our passion play has now at last begun
(Christine, save me)
(Lead me from my solitude)
Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question
(Angel sing just for me)
(I'll listen)
How long should we two wait
Before we're one?
When will the blood begin to race?
The sleeping bud burst into bloom?
When will the flames, at last, consume us?
Past the point of no return
(Angel of music, you deceived me)
The final threshold
The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn
We've passed the point of no return
