The Phantom of the Opera (With Michael Crawford) From The Phantom of the Opera Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Charles Hart (4:21) Christine (Sarah): In sleep he sang to me In dreams he came That voice which calls to me And speaks my name And do I dream again For now I find The phantom of the opera is there Inside my mind Phantom (Michael): Sing once again with me Our strange duet My power over you Grows stronger yet And though you turn from me To glance behind The phantom of the opera is there Inside your mind Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear I am the mask you wear It's me they hear Christina (in duet): Your spirit and my voice in one
combined My spirit and your voice in one
combined The phantom of the opera is there Christine (in duet): Inside my mind Phantom (in duet): Inside your mind Choir (very, very soft): He's there, The phantom of the opera Beware, The phantom of the opera In all your fantasy You always knew That man and mystery Were both in you? And in this labyrinth Where night is blind The phantom of the opera is Christine (in duet): Here Phantom (in duet): There Inside my mind Sing! My angel of music! He's there The phantom of the opera (Christine starts singing) Sing... (Christine continues singing) Sing for me... Sing, my angel of music! Sing for me! The Unexpected Song From Song & Dance Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Don Black (2:56) I have never felt like this For once I'm lost for words Your smile has really thrown
me This is not like me at all I never thought I'd know The kind of love you've shown
me Now, no matter where I am No matter what I do I see your face appearing Like an unexpected song An unexpected song That only we are hearing I don't know what's going on Can't work it out at all Whatever made you choose me? I just can't believe my eyes You look at me as though You couldn't bear to lose me Now, no matter where I am No matter what I do I see your face appearing Like an unexpected song An unexpected song That only we are hearing I have never felt like this For once I'm lost for words Your smile has really thrown
me This is not like me at all I never thought I'd know The kind of love you've shown
me Now, no matter where I am No matter what I do I see your face appearing Like an unexpected song An unexpected song That only we are hearing Like an unexpected song An unexpected song That only we are hearing From Aspects of Love Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Don Black, Charles Hart (3:55) Pas de tendresse Et pas de joie, Loin d'ici, Loin de toi Rien de plus triste Que mes soupirs, Lorsque vient le jour Ou il me faut partir Chanson d'enfance, Tu vis toujours dans ma coeur Toi, la plus douce! Toi, la plus tendre! C'est la chanson Qui dit toujours: Dans ton esprit Je vis toujours C'est la chanson Qui dit toujours: Dans ton esprit Je vis toujours (And the last three stanzas are
repeated once) All
I Ask Of You
(With Cliff Richard) From The Phantom of the Opera Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Charles Hart (4:10) Raoul (Cliff): No more talk of darkness, Forget these wide-eyed fears I'm here, nothing can harm you, My words will warm and calm you Let me be your freedom, Let daylight dry your tears, I'm here, with you, beside you, To guard you and to guide you Christine (Sarah): Say you'll love me every waking
moment Turn my head with talk of summertime Say you need me with you now
and always Promise me that all you say is
true That's all I ask of you Let me be your shelter Let me be your light You're safe; no one will find
you Your fears are far behind you All I want is freedom A world with no more night And you, always beside me To hold me and to hide me Then say you'll share with me
one love, one lifetime Let me lead you from your solitude Say you want me with you, here
beside you Anywhere you go, let me go too That's all I ask of you Say you'll share with me one
love, one lifetime Say the word and I will follow
you Share each day with me, each
night, each morning Say you love me... You know I do Love me, that's all I ask of
you... Love me, that's all I ask of
you From Evita Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Tim Rice (5:54) It won't be easy; you'll think
it's strange When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your love after
all that I've done You won't believe me All you will see is a girl you
once knew Although she's dressed up to
the nines At sixes and sevens with you I had to let it happen, I had
to change Couldn't stay all my life down
at heel Looking out of the window, staying
out of the sun So I chose freedom Running around, trying everything
new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance And as for fortune, and as for
fame I never invited them in Though it seems to the world
they were all I desired They are illusions They're not the solutions they
promised to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love
me Don't cry for me Argentina Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think
of to say to you But all you have to do is look
at me To know that every word is true Don't cry for me Argentina Another Suitcase
In Another Hall From Evita Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Tim Rice (3:21) I don't expect my love affairs
to last for long Never fool myself that my dreams
will come true Being used to trouble I anticipate
it But all the same I hate it, wouldn't
you? So what happens now? (Another suitcase in another
hall) So what happens now? (Take your picture off another
wall) Where am I going to? (You'll get by; you always have
before) Where am I going to? Time and time again I've said
that I don't care That I'm immune to gloom, That I'm hard through and through But every time it matters all
my words desert me So anyone can hurt me, and they
do So what happens now? (Another suitcase in another
hall) So what happens now? (Take your picture off another
wall) Where am I going to? (You'll get by you always have
before) Where am I going go? Call in three months time and
I'll be fine I know Well maybe not that fine, but
I'll survive anyhow I won't recall the names and
places of this sad occasion But that's no consolation, here
and now So what happens now? (Another suitcase in another
hall) So what happens now? (Take your picture off another
wall) Where am I going to? (You'll get by; you always have
before) Where am I going to? (Don't ask anymore) Love Changes Everything From Aspects of Love Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Don Black, Charles Hart (3:34) Love, love changes everything:
hands and faces, earth and sky Love, love changes everything:
how you live and how you die Love can make the summer fly,
or a night seem like a lifetime Yes, love, love changes everything,
now I tremble at your name Nothing in the world will ever
be the same Love, love changes everything:
days are longer; words mean more Love, love changes everything:
pain is deeper than before Love will turn your world around,
and that world will last forever Yes, love, love changes everything:
brings you glory, brings you shame Nothing in the world will ever
be the same Off into the world we go: planning
futures, shaping years Love bursts in and suddenly all
our wisdom disappears Love makes fools of everyone:
all the rules we make are broken Yes, love, love changes everything:
live or perish, in its flame Love will never ever let you
be the same Love will never ever let you
be the same Amigos Para Siempre (Friends For Life) (With José Carreras) Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Don Black (4:34) Sarah: I don't have to say A word to you You seem to know Whatever mood I'm going through Feels as though I've known you forever José: You Can look into my eyes and see The way I feel And how The world is treating me Maybe I have known you forever Both: Amigos para siempre Means you'll always be my friend Amics per sempre Means a love that cannot end Friends for life Not just a summer or a spring Amigos para siempre I feel you near me Even when we are apart Just knowing you are in this
world Can warm my heart Friends for life Not just a summer or a spring Amigos para siempre Sarah: We share memories I won't forget And we'll share more, My friend, We haven't started yet Something happens When we're together José: When I look at you I wonder why There has to come A time when we must say goodbye I'm alive when we are together Both: Amigos para siempre Means you'll always be my friend Amics per sempre Means a love that cannot end Friends for life Not just a summer or a spring Amigos para siempre I feel you near me Even when we are apart Just knowing you are in this

Eliot (3:58) Midnight Not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memry? She is smiling alone In the lamplight The withered leaves collect at
my feet And the wind begins to moan Memry All alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days Life was beautiful then I remember The time I knew what happiness
was Let the memry live again Ev'ry street lamp Seems to beat A fatalistic warning Someone mutters And a street lamp gutters And soon it will be morning Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory too And a new life will begin Burnt out ends of smokey days The stale cold smell of morning The street lamp dies Another night is over Another day is dawning Touch me It's so easy to leave me All alone with my mem'ry Of my days in the sun If you touch me You'll understand what happiness
is Look a new day has begun... (With Sir John Gielgud) From Cats Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: T.S. Eliot (5:11) Sarah: Gus is the cat at the theatre
door His name, as I ought to have
told you before Is really Asparagus, but that's
such a fuss to pronounce That we usually call him, just
Gus His coat's very shabby; he's
thin as a rake And he suffers from palsy that
makes his paw shake For he was, in his youth, quite
the smartest of cats But no longer a terror to mice
or to rats For he isn't the cat that he
was in his prime Though his name was quite famous,
he says, in his time And whenever he joins his friends
at their club Which takes place at the back
of the neighbouring pub He loves to regale them, if someone
else pays With anecdotes drawn from his
palmiest days For he once was a star of the
highest degree He has acted with Irving; he's
acted with Tree And he likes to relate his success
on the halls Where the gallery once gave him
seven catcalls But his grandest creation, as
he loves to tell Was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend
of the fell Sir John: I have played in my time every
possible part And I used to know seventy speeches
by heart I'd extemporize backchats; I
knew how to gag And I knew how to let the cat
out of the bag I knew how to act with my back
and my tail With an hour of rehearsal, I
never could fail I'd a voice that would soften
the hardest of hearts Whether I took the lead, or in
character parts I have sat by the bedside of
poor little Nell When the curfew was rung, then
I swung on the bell In the pantomime season, I never
fell flat And I once understudied Dick
Whittington's cat But my grandest creation, as
history will tell Was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend
of the fell Sarah: Then, if someone will give him
a toothful of gin He will tell how he once played
a part in East Lynne At a Shakespeare performance,
he once walked on pat When some actor suggested the
need for a cat Sir John: And I say now these kittens;
they do not get trained As we did in the days when Victoria
reigned They never get drilled in a regular
troupe And they think they are smart
just to jump through a hoop Sarah: And he says as he scratches himself
with his claws Sir John: Well the theatre is certainly
not what is was These modern productions are
all very well But there's nothing to equal
from what I hear tell That moment of mystery, when
I made history As Firefrorefiddle, the fiend
of the fell Anything But Lonely From Aspects of Love Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Don Black, Charles Hart (2:57) Anything but lonely, Anything but empty rooms There's so much in life to share
-- What's the sense when no one
else is there? Anything but lonely, Anything but only me Quiet years in too much space: That's the thing that's hard
to face, And... You have a right to go, But you should also know That I won't be alone for long Long days with nothing said Are not what lie ahead -- I'm sorry, but I'm not that strong Anything but lonely, Anything but passing time Lonelys what I'll never be, While there's still some life
in me, And... I'm still young; don't forget, It isn't over yet -- So many hearts for me to thrill If you're not here to say How good I look each day, I'll have to find someone who
will Anything but lonely, Anything but empty rooms There's so much in life to share
-- What's the sense when no one
else is there...? What's the sense when no one
else is there...? From Cats Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: T.S. Eliot (4:46) Macavity's a mystery cat; he's
called the hidden paw For he's the master criminal,
who can defy the law He's the bafflement of Scotland
Yard, the Flying Squad's despair For when they reach the scene
of crime Macavity's not there! Macavity, Macavity, there's no
one like Macavity He's broken every human law;
he breaks the law of gravity His powers of levitation would
make a fakir stare But when you reach the scene
of crime Macavity's not there! You may seek him in the basement;
you may look up in the air But I tell you once and once
again Macavity's not there! Macavity's a ginger cat, he's
very tall and thin You would know him if you saw
him for his eyes are sunken in His brow is deeply lined with
thought; his head is highly domed His coat is dusty from neglect;
his whiskers are uncombed He sways his head from side to
side with movements like a snake And when you think he's half
asleep, he's always wide-awake! Macavity, Macavity, there's no
one like Macavity For he's a fiend in feline shape,
a monster of depravity You may meet him in a bystreet;
you may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered
then Macavity's not there! He's outwardly respectable; I
know he cheats at cards And his footprints are not found
in any files of Scotland Yard's And when the larder's looted
or the jewel case is rifled Or when the milk is missing or
another peke's been stifled Or the greenhouse glass is broken
and the trellis past repair There's the wonder of the thing
Macavity's not there! Macavity, Macavity, there's no
one like Macavity There never was a cat of such
deceitfulness and suavity He always has an alibi and one
or two to spare What ever time the deed took
place Macavity's not there! And they say that all the cats
whose wicked deeds are widely known I might mention Mungojerrie;
I might mention Griddlebone Are nothing more than agents
for the cat who all the time Just controls the operations:
the Napoleon of crime! Macavity, Macavity, there's no
one like Macavity He's a fiend in feline shape,
a monster of depravity You may meet him in a bystreet;
you may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered
then Macavity Macavity, Macavity, Macavity When a crime's discovered then
Macavity's not there! Tell Me On A Sunday From Tell Me On A Sunday/Song
& Dance Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Don Black (3:45) Don't write a letter when you
want to leave Don't call me at 3 a.m. from
a friend's apartment I'd like to choose how I hear
the news Take me to a park that's covered
with trees Tell me on a Sunday, please Let me down easy No big song and dance No long faces, no long looks No deep conversation I know the way we should spend
that day Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees Tell me on a Sunday, please Don't want to know who's to blame It won't help knowing Don't want to fight day and night Bad enough you're going Don't leave in silence with no
word at all Don't get drunk and slam the
door That's no way to end this I know how I want you to say
goodbye Find a circus ring with a flying
trapeze Tell me on a Sunday, please Don't want to fight day and night Bad enough you're going Don't leave in silence with no
word at all Don't get drunk and slam the
door That's no way to end this I know how I want you to say
goodbye Don't run off in the pouring
rain Don't call me as they call your
train Take the hurt out of all the
pain Take me to a park that's covered
with trees Tell me on a Sunday, please From The Phantom of the Opera Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Charles Hart (3:31) You were once my one companion You were all that mattered You were once a friend and father Then my world was shattered Wishing you were somehow here
again Wishing you were somehow near Sometimes it seemed if I just
dreamed Somehow you would be here Wishing I could hear your voice
again Knowing that I never would Dreaming of you won't help me
to do All that you dreamed I could Passing bells and sculpted angels Cold and monumental Seem for you the wrong companions You were warm and gentle Too many years fighting back
tears Why can't the past just die? Wishing you were somehow here
again Knowing we must say goodbye Try to forgive, teach me to live Give me the strength to try No more memories, no more silent
tears No more gazing across the wasted
years Help me say goodbye Help me say goodbye Pie Jesu (With Paul Miles-Kingston) From Requiem Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: David R. Murray (3:55) Sarah: Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu Qui tollis peccata mundi? Dona eis requiem, dona eis requiem Paul: Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu Both: Qui tollis peccata mundi? Dona eis requiem, dona eis requiem Choir: Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei Both: Qui tollis peccata mundi? Dona eis requiem, dona eis requiem Choir: Dona eis requiem Sempiternam Choir: Dona eis requiem Both: Sempiternam Requiem Sempiternam The Music
Of The Night From The Phantom of the Opera Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Charles Hart, Richard
Stilgoe (5:22) Nighttime sharpens, heightens
each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their
defenses Slowly, gently, night unfurls
its splendour Grasp it; sense it, tremulous
and tender Turn your face away from the
garish light of day Turn your face away from cold,
unfeeling light And listen to the music of the
night Close you eyes and surrender
to your darkest dreams Leave all thoughts of the world
you knew before Close your eyes; let your spirit
start to soar And you'll live as you've never
lived before Softly, deftly, music shall caress
you Hear it, feel it, secretly possess
you Open up your mind; let your fantasies
unwind In this darkness, which you know,
you cannot fight The darkness of the music of
the night Let your mind start a journey
through a strange, new world Leave all thoughts of the world
you knew before Let your soul take you where
you long to go Only then can you belong to me Floating, falling, sweet intoxication Touch me, trust me, savour each
sensation Let the dream begin, let your
darker side give in To the harmony, which dreams
alone, can write The power of the music of the
night You alone can make my song take
flight Help me make the music of the
night |
