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.
