Christine: So it was all an empty lie, One final lie to fool us all, To make your d**h a story's end, To put your life beyond recall. How dare you come and claim me now, invade my life, ensnare my voice Phantom: If you could know the pain I'd known, Then you would know I had no choice, My Christine Christine: Your Christine! I was yours one brief night long ago. Long ago, with a man that I no longer know. Phantom: Ah Christine! You came and found where I hid, Don't you deny that you did, That long ago night. Once there was a night, Beneath a moonless sky, Too dark to see a thing, Too dark to even try. Christine: I stole to your side, Tormented by my choice, I couldn't see your face, Yet trembled at your voice. And I touched you Phantom: And I felt you Both: And I heard those ravishing refrains Christine: The music of your pulse Phantom: The singing in your veins Christine: And I held you Phantom: And I touched you Christine: And embraced you Phantom: And I felt you Both: And with every breath and every sigh Christine: I felt no longer scared Phantom: I felt no longer shy Both: At last our feelings bared, Beneath a moonless sky Christine: And blind in the dark,
As soul gazed into soul, I looked into your heart And saw you pure and whole Phantom: Cloaked under the night, with nothing to suppress. A woman and a man, no more and yet no less. And I kissed you Christine: And caressed you Both: And the world around us fell away, We said things in the dark we never dared to say. Phantom: And I caught you Christine: And I kissed you Phantom: And I took you Christine: And I begged you Both: With a need too urgent to deny, And nothing mattered then, except for you and I. Again and then again, Beneath a moonless sky. Phantom: And when it was done, Before the sun could rise, Ashamed of what I was, Afraid to see your eyes. I stood while you slept, And whispered a goodbye, And slipped into the dark, Beneath a moonless sky. Christine: And I loved you! Yes I loved you! I'd have followed anywhere you lead. I woke to swear my love, And found you gone instead. Phantom: And I loved you Christine: And I loved you Phantom: And I left you Christine: How I loved you Phantom: And I had to both of us knew why Christine: We both knew why Both: And yet I wont regret, From now until I die, The night I can't forget, Beneath a moonless sky.
