Sarah Brightman & Antonio Banderas - The Phantom of the Opera (live, 1998)
The Phantom of the Opera is a song from the stage musical of the same name, composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, sung by Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford, lyrics written by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe, and additional lyrics by Mike Batt.
The song is performed in Act I after the song "Angel of Music" (The Mirror) and before "The Music of the Night" (and is reprised in Act Two at the end of the song "Notes/Twisted Every Way"). It takes place as the Phantom escorts Christine by boat to his lair beneath the Opera Garnier. It is sung as a duet by Christine and the Phantom. In this song, Christine sings her highest note in the show, an E6, at the end of the song. In different shows, Sarah Brightman sings this song in different duets with other performers Steve Harley, Antonio Banderas, Chris Thompson, Alessandro Safina, Mario Frangoulis, Colm Wilkinson, Anthony Warlow, John Owen-Jones, Peter Jöback and Erkan Aki.
The lyrics:
CHRISTINE:
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:
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
CHRISTINE:
All those who've seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
PHANTOM:
It's me they hear
BOTH:
Your/my spirit and my/your voice
In one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my/your mind
VOICES:
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera
Beware, the Phantom of the Opera...
PHANTOM:
In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery
CHRISTINE:
Were both in you
BOTH:
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my/your my mind
PHANTOM:
Sing, my angel of music!
CHRISTINE:
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera
Ah!
PHANTOM:
Sing, my angel, sing!
CHRISTINE:
Ah!
PHANTOM:
Sing for me!
CHRISTINE:
Ah!
PHANTOM:
Sing, my angel of music!
CHRISTINE:
Ah!
