Phantom Of The Opera - Wandering Child lyrics

(The PHANTOM emerges from behind the cross) PHANTOM (very soft and enticing) Wandering child So lost So helpless Yearning for my Guidance (Bewildered, CHRISTINE looks up, and murmurs Breathlessly): [CHRISTINE:] Angel . . . or father Friend . . . or Phantom . . . ? Who is it there Staring . . . ? [PHANTOM:] (more and more hypnotic) Have you forgotten your Angel . . .? [CHRISTINE:] Angel . . . oh, speak What endless longings Echo in this whisper . . .! (RAOUL appears in the shadows and watches for a moment transfixed) [PHANTOM:] (now drawing CHRISTINE towards him) Too long you've wandered in winter RAOUL (to himself a murmur) Once again She is his [PHANTOM:] Far from my far-reaching gaze [RAOUL:] Once again she returns [CHRISTINE:] (Increasingly mesmerized) Wildly my mind beats against you [PHANTOM:] You resist [PHANTOM/CHRISTINE:] Yet your/the soul Obeys [RAOUL:] To the arms Of her angel Angel or demon Still he calls her Luring her back, from the grave Angel or dark seducer . . .? Who are you, strange Angel . . .? [PHANTOM:] Angel of Music! You denied me/I denied you Turning from true beauty Angel of Music! Do not shun me/My protector Come to your strange Angel [CHRISTINE:] Angel of Music! (CHRISTINE moves towards the figure of the PHANTOM) [PHANTOM:] (Beckoning her) I am your Angel of Music Come to me: Angel of Music [RAOUL:] (Suddenly calling out) Angel of darkness! Cease this torment! (Inexorably the PHANTOM continues to beckon CHRISTINE) [PHANTOM:] I am your Angel of Music Come to me: Angel of Music [RAOUL:] (in desperation) Christine! Christine listen to me! Whatever you may believe, this man This thing . . . is not your father! (To the PHANTOM) Let her go! For God's sake, let her go! Christine ! (Coming out of her trance CHRISTINE turns and Mouths the words): [CHRISTINE:] Raoul
