Only for Him/Only for You

MEG:

Jesus, what a crowd.

CHORUS GIRL 1:

Nervous?

MEG:

Just a bit.

CHORUS GIRL 2:

Kid, look who you are.

CHORUS GIRL 1:

The headline act!

CHORUS GIRL 2:

A major star!

CHORUS GIRL 1:

You're already a hit!

CHORUS GIRL 2:

Got a match?

MEG:

Wonder what he'll think.

CHORUS GIRL 1:

The boss?

MEG:

If he's even here.

CHORUS 2:

Honey, please, he's here.

CHORUS GIRL 1:

And in just two days, he'll be there tossing you bouquets at our gala premiere.

CHORUS GIRL 2:

Picture it!

CHORUS GIRL 1:

The cream of Manhattan!

CHORUS GIRL 2:

Celebrities! Millionaires!

CHORUS GIRL 1:

Watching you!

MEG:

I'll be waiting in the wing,

Wound up tighter than a spring

As the house begins to dim.

And I'll practice every line

Hoping desperately to shine,

Shining only for him.

MEG & CHORUS GIRLS:

Just imagine how they'll cheer

At the moment you appear.

MEG:

Stepping out before the scrim

Let 'em woop and let 'em call

I won't hear the crowd at all

CHORUS GIRLS:

No it's only for him.

MEG:

Tell me how I look.

CHORUS GIRL 1:

Fine.

MEG:

Just fine? What about my hair?

CHORUS 2:

Beautiful!

MEG:

You swear?

CHORUS GIRL 1:

Trust me, when the boss sees how you put that song across

CHORUS GIRL 2:

Hell! He 'aint got a prayer!

MEG:

Oh you mean it?

CHORUS GIRLS:

You'll step out into the light

Looking lovely,

Burning bright.

All vitality and veer.

MEG:

Aha. And I'll rapturously float through the melody he wrote.

Singing only for him.

MEG & CHORUS GIRLS:

And before the music dies,

Up the audience will rise,

Nearly bursting at the brim.

CHORUS GIRLS:

And you'll stand there in the glow.

MEG:

And, perhaps, at last he'll know.

CHORUS GIRL 1:

Girls! Hurry up, we're on!

MAN 1:

Where is she?

MAN 2:

Look!

MAN 1:

Just like in the posters!

The Ooh-La-La Girl!

ONLOOKERS:

MEG:

Welcome, each and every one,

To our imperilment of fun!

CHORUS:

And buffet of Bali Hoo!

It's where Coney comes to play,

And it's opening today.

MEG:

And it's only for you!

For this seasons big premier.

And it's only for you!

The Aerie (orchestra)

'Til I Hear You Sing

PHANTOM:

Ten long years

Living a mere facade of life

Ten long years

Wasting my my time on smoke and noise

In my mind

I hear melodies pure and unearthly

But I find I can't give them a voice without you

My Christine

My Christine

Lost and gone

Lost and gone

The day starts, the day ends

Time crawls by

Night steals in, pacing the floor

The moments creep, yet I can't bear to sleep

'Til I hear you sing

And weeks pass and months pass

Seasons fly

Still you don't walk through the door

And in a haze, I count the silent days

'Til I hear you sing once more

And sometimes at nighttime

I dream that you are there

But wake, holding nothing but the empty air

And years come and years go

Time runs dry

Still I ache down to the core

My broken soul can't be alive and whole

'Til I hear you sing once more

And music, your music

It teases at my ear

I turn and it fades away and you're not here!

Let hopes pass, let dreams pass

Let them die!

Without you what are they for?

I always feel no more than halfway real!

'Til I hear you sing once more! 

Giry Confronts the Phantom/'Til I Hear You Sing (Reprise)

MEG:

Tell me, did you watch? Tell me that you saw

Did you hear the crowd, the way they cheered, I hope you're proud

Did you like the new routine? Was it passable, I mean

I can change a thing or two, what should I do?

No, don't say it, I can guess, but I promise I'll progress

PHANTOM:

Yes, of course. Whatever you feel is best, Meg

MEG:

Did the costume look okay? Too revealing, would you say?

People seemed to like the view

MADAME GIRY:

Meg, please...

MEG:

I could show a bit more skin, that would sure bring 'em in -

MADAME GIRY:

Meg! Can't you see that the master's at work?

Can't you see that his mind's somewhere else?

Can't you see that obviously he's thinking of things more important than you?

PHANTOM:

Careful, Madame. You're forgetting yourself.

MADAME GIRY:

Don't you see he forgot what this is?

Opening day, a big deal, what a fuss

Our success means not I guess compared to the things that the Master must do!

Christine! Christine!

MEG:

Christine...

PHANTOM:

That's enough!

MADAME GIRY:

Meg, leave. Now!

In Paris, when the mob surrounded you, who was there? We were there.

Where was she when the low men hounded you? Gone, long gone. We stayed on.

Who concealed you safe away? Smuggled you up to Calais? Found a freighter out of France?

PHANTOM:

I don't see the problem. This is ancient history.

MADAME GIRY:

And once here, when the side show hired you, who stood by? Meg and I

While they kept you on display, who kept working night and day?

Who gave you their very lives?

And who helped you buy that side show?

Who helped you finance you scheme? Who wouldn't quit 'til your act was a hit?

And your hit could become your dream?

Who played the politicians, lured investors and the press? No, not her

And who stayed with you, helped you and advised you?

We stayed with you, loved and idolized you

She betrayed you, shunned you and despised you!

She chose Raoul, chose his beauty and youth.

It's long past time you faced --

PHANTOM:

Enough! You'll be repaid as I promised you would.

Now, if you've anything else left to say...

Oh Christine, my Christine

Though I swore our goodbye meant goodbye

Still Christine, I must know what we´ve shared was no lie

My Christine

This shall return you to me; Here, where you´ve known you should be

My sweet Christine!

And come what may, I swear somehow, someway 

I will hear you sing once more!

Christine Disembarks

ENSEMBLE:

Has the Persephone disembarked yet?

Yeah, the passengers are going through customs now

Here they come

It's Mrs. Aster

Hey, Mrs. Aster, over here

Hey, how was the trip?

Is that the latest Paris style?

Look, there's Colonel Vanderbilt

Hey, Colonel, enjoyed those French pastries, did you? Thanks, Colonel.

COLONEL VANDERBILT:
There's nothing there we don't have bigger and better over here, I assure you
REPORTERS:
Thanks, Colonel!
(There, that's Oscar Hammerstein, ain't it?)
REPORTERS:
Hey, Mr. H, over here, this way!
(H-How was Europe?)
Hey, there she is!
(Miss Daaé! Miss Daaé!)
Christine! Miss Daaé!

RAOUL:

Her name is Madame de Chagny, now stand aside, stand aside please! No pictures, do you hear? No pictures of my wife, no pictures of the boy!

PRESS:

Hey Christine! Why Coney Island? Your first concert in years, why aren't you singing at the Met?

RAOUL:

The Vicomtess has been engaged by a well-known person --

PRESS:

Well-known? No one's ever seen the guy! Hey, how do you lure the great Christine Daae over here anyways? It's the money right? All that American moola? Hey Christine, what'cha gonna sing, Yankee-doodle moola?

RAOUL:

My wife is an artist, sir!

PRESS:

Yeah, and her art is paying off your gambling debt, that's what they say in France! Is it true you left your entire fortune on a roulette table in Montecarlo?

RAOUL:

Insolent reject! How dare you!

GUSTAVE:

Father?

RAOUL:

Not now, Gustave.

PRESS:

Hey kid! How's it feel to have a famous mother? This your first time in America? What do you plan to do here at Coney?

GUSTAVE:

I-I want to learn how to swim

RAOUL:

I said leave the child alone. God's sake! Didn't this Mr. Y send someone to receive us?

GUSTAVE:

Mother, look! Right over there, across the square. What is it?

Arrival of the Trio/Are You Ready to Begin?

SQUELCH:

Are you ready to begin?

Are you ready to get on?

You're about to start out on the journey of your life.

RAOUL:

Is this some kind of joke?

ONLOOKER 1:

Nah, it's a publicity stunt for that freak show on Coney!

REPORTER 1:

It's a front page feature, is what it is!

[Aside.] You gettin' this, Smitty?

PHOTOGRAPHER:

You bet'cha.

GANGLE:

If you're ready then get in

Once you're in then we'll get gone

And who knows once it goes,

where you'll be when it arrives.

RAOUL:

This is outrageous!

VARIOUS (Spoken):

It's amazing!

It's brilliant!

I'm telling you, that Mr. Y is an absolute genius

FLECK:

It's a funhouse where the mirrors all reflect what's real.

FLECK & GANGLE:

And reality's as twisted as the mirrors reveal

And the fun is finding out what the mirrors show

RAOUL:

This is unacceptable do you hear me! I will be taking this up with your employer, whoever he is.

GUSTAVE:

Everything and everyone, it's all just how I dreamed

All the freaks and all the fun, exactly how I dreamed

And Phantasma still awaits

Wonder what's behind its gates.

What a Dreadful Town...!

RAOUL:

What a dreadful town

What a vulgar place

What an awful mistake to have come here.

To be on display, in that shameless way

To the crew common lower class scum here.

How do the dare to treat us so?!

GUSTAVE:

Father, please, come play with me!

Come and see this toy I've got!

RAOUL:

What a snub at most,

From our so called host.

Did he think sending freaks would be funny?

Could the fool have thought,

That our pride was bought by his filthy American money?

What a farce! What an outright slap in the face!

It's an utter disgrace!

I've got a mind to pack and go. Never you mind the debts we owe.

Who would've thought we'd sunk this low?

GUSTAVE:

Father, please, come play with me.

RAOUL:

Please tell the boy the answer's no!

(Christine plays the piano.)

Must you make that racket!

CHRISTINE:

It's the Arie I'm to sing tomorrow.

RAOUL:

It hurts my head.

CHRISTINE:

Please let's not fight, dear.

I'm sure that no-one intended a slight, dear.

RAOUL:

Don't you patronise me, it's your fault we came here.

CHRISTINE:

We need the money.

That's all, that's why things haven't been right, dear.

RAOUL:

Why doesn't it surprise me that I get the blame here?

CHRISTINE:

Let's leave tonight, dear.

If that would serve to ease your troubled mind.

Leave the hurt behind.

GUSTAVE:

Father, dear, come over here

And look at what they gave to me.

Wind it up, and father see,

Look it plays a melody.

RAOUL:

I need some air.

CHRISTINE:

Raoul, please...

RAOUL:

Please what?

CHRISTINE:

Nothing. Nothing.

Only. Raoul, don't drink any more.

GUSTAVE:

Father never plays with me.

Doesn't he love me?

Look with Your Heart

CHRISTINE:

Love's a curious thing, it often comes disguised

Look at love the wrong way, it goes unrecognized

So look with your heart, and not with your eyes

The heart understands, the heart never lies

Believe what it feels, and trust what it shows

Look with your heart, the heart always knows

Love is not always beautiful, not at the start

So open your arms, and close your eyes tight

Look with your heart, and when it finds love, your heart will be right

Learn from someone who knows, make sure you don't forget

Love you misunderstand is love that you'll regret

GUSTAVE:

Mother?

Look with your heart, and not with your eyes

The heart can't be fooled

CHRISTINE:

The heart is too wise

GUSTAVE:

Forget what you think

CHRISTINE:

Ignore what you hear

CHRISTINE & GUSTAVE:

Look with your heart, it always sees clear

GUSTAVE:

Love is not always beautiful, not at the start

CHRISTINE:

But open your arms, and close your eyes tight

Look with your heart, and when it finds love, your heart will be right 

Beneath a Moonless Sky

CHRISTINE:

I should have known that you'd be here

I should have known it all along

This whole arrangement bears your stamp

You're in each measure of that song

How dare you try and claim me now?

How dare you come invade my life?

PHANTOM:

Oh, Christine, my Christine

In that time when the world thought me dead

My Christine, on that night just before you were wed

Ah, Christine, you came and found where I hid

Don't you deny that you did

That long ago night

CHRISTINE:

That night...

PHANTOM:

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 to tell you I must go

I couldn't see your face but sensed you even so

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 caressed you

BOTH:

With a need too blatant 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 led

I woke to swear my love

And found you gone instead

PHANTOM:

And I loved you

CHRISTINE:

How 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 won't regret

From now until I die

The night I can't forget

Beneath a moonless sky

PHANTOM:

And now...

CHRISTINE:

How can you talk of now?

For us, there is no now 

Once Upon Another Time

CHRISTINE: 

Once upon another time
Our story had only begun
You chose to turn the page
And I made choices too

Once upon that other time
We did what we thought must be done
And now we have no choice
We do what we must do

We love, we live
We give what we can give
And take what little we deserve

PHANTOM: 

Once upon another time
I knew how our story would end
And maybe I was wrong
But now the moment's gone

Were it still that other time
I'd make time itself somehow bend
But now I'm not that strong
And time keeps moving on

BOTH: 

We love, we live
We give what we can give
And take what little we deserve

We love, we live
We give what we can give
And take what little we deserve

Once upon another time 

Mother, Please, I'm Scared...!

GUSTAVE:

Mother, please, I'm scared!

What a dream! An awful dream!

Someone strange and mad

Seizing me and drowning me!

CHRISTINE:

Shh, Gustave, it's alright.

Come and meet a friend of mine.

PHANTOM:

Welcome to my world, my friend.

CHRISTINE:

Gustave, this is... Mr. Y.

GUSTAVE:

This place is yours?

PHANTOM:

Every inch of it

Tell me where you'd like to go.

Tell me what you want to see

I can grant any wish

GUSTAVE:

Could you show me, if you please

All the Island's mysteries?

All that strange and wild and dark

In the shadows of the park?

PHANTOM:

You shall see it all tomorrow.

I promise

CHRISTINE:

Back to sleep now, Gustave.

GUSTAVE:

Yes, mother.

Dear Old Friend

MEG:

5, 6, a-5, 6, 7, 8

MEG & GIRLS:

Bathing beauty, on the beach

Bathing beauty, say hello

What a cutie, what a peach

Bathing beauty, watch her go.

MAN (speaking):

Alright, Meg, take 5, girls, take it one more time

GIRLS:

Bathing beauty, on the beach…

MADAME GIRY (speaking):

Very nice, Meg

MEG:

Do you think so, mother, really?

MADAME GIRY:

You've come a long way since the beginning of the season

MEG:

Does he agree? It's been three months, he never comes to see the show. Even a word from him, just one.

MADAME GIRY:

You may get more than that. He has been composing again, late at night. Not this cheap Vaudeville trash, something glorious.

MEG:

For, for me?

MADAME GIRY:

Continue to work hard. Make yourself useful to him.

GUSTAVE:

Mother

CHRISTINE:

Patience, Gustave. First, I must find the stage manager, my dressing room, the musical director.

GUSTAVE:

Then we'll go look for our friend and go see the island?

CHRISTINE:

I'm sure he'll send for you when he's ready. Well, excuse me, miss, would you mind?

Meg (singing):

Heaven help me, could it be? No, it couldn't possibly

CHRISTINE:

Sorry, do I?

MEG:

Yes, I think you do

CHRISTINE:

Have we?

MEG:

Go on, take a guess

CHRISTINE:

Wait, it can't be, is it?

MEG:

Yes

CHRISTINE:

Oh, my God, I can't believe it's you

MEG:

Look at you, Christine. Regal as a queen and beautiful

CHRISTINE:

Meg, and you as well I could hardly tell it's you!

BOTH:

My dear old friend

Can't believe you're here, old friend

CHRISTINE:

After all this time

MEG:

So glad you came

CHRISTINE:

You look sublime

MEG:

You look the same

BOTH:

My sweet old friend. Never thought we'd meet, old friend

CHRISTINE:

Look at you, a star

MEG:

And you, a wife

BOTH:

And isn't life a splendid thing?

CHRISTINE:

And here we are

MEG:

To see the sights

CHRISTINE:

And sing

MEG:

To sing?

CHRISTINE:

And of course, as a treat for my son, Meg, meet Gustave

MEG:

Who hired you to sing here?

RAOUL:

You!

MADAME GIRY:

It can't be you!

RAOUL:

Is this a jest?

MADAME GIRY:

How can this be?

RAOUL:

We've come to work

MADAME GIRY:

At whose request?

RAOUL:

The contract's here

MADAME GIRY:

I want to see. My God, the price

RAOUL:

It's rather high

MADAME GIRY:

Why, it's absurd

RAOUL:

Oh, yes, I know. Inform your boss that, by the by, the fee goes up or else we go

BOTH:

My dear old friend. Here's how things appear, old friend

MADAME GIRY:

He who pays the bill

RAOUL:

Times two or three

MADAME GIRY:

Be sure he will

RAOUL:

And handsomely

BOTH:

And dear old friend. Now that we are clear, old friend

MADAME GIRY:

That's all very well but till you're gone, you'll wait upon my boss' whim

RAOUL:

Ah, yes, your boss and who is that?

MADAME GIRY:

It's him

MEG:

Sorry, did I hear you right? Here to sing

CHRISTINE:

Tomorrow night

MEG:

I'm afraid there must be some mistake. You can't be performing

CHRISTINE:

Why?

MEG:

Mainly, dear 'cause so am I! I'm in fact the star, for heaven's sake! What are you to sing?

CHRISTINE:

Just one little thing, an aria. Please you needn't fret 

I'm sure you will get your due!

RAOUL:

Him?

MADAME GIRY:

That's what I said

RAOUL:

You work for him?

MADAME GIRY:

Now so do you

RAOUL:

And my poor wife. We thought him dead. She'll be appalled!

MADAME GIRY:

Unless she knew

CHRISTINE:

Darling, please, are you alright?

RAOUL:

Tell me now, that music, who was its creator?

CHRISTINE:

Darling, please don't squeeze so tight

RAOUL:

Something's going on here, I'll deal with you later

MEG:

Did you know?

MADAME GIRY:

How could I know? Why would they come?

MEG:

Why won't they go?

ALL:

My dear old friend. Can't believe you're here, old friend

MADAME GIRY:

Speaking as your host

MEG:

As an artist

CHRISTINE:

What a surprise

RAOUL:

To say the least

ALL:

Yes, dear old friend.

That's a happy tear, old friend.

I can't conceal, try though I may, the way I feel, so I pretend

I'm sure it's clear, to such a dear old friend

MADAME GIRY:

You mustn't stay!

CHRISTINE:

Why would I leave?

RAOUL:

Why are we here?

MEG:

Don't play naive

ALL:

What dear old friends. Don't we all live here, old friends?

RAOUL:

Nothing has been changed

MEG:

And never will

MADAME GIRY & CHRISTINE:

Just rearranged

ALL:

And yet we're still, such grand old friends, such devoted and old friends.

Words cannot suggest what's in my heart and for the rest why even start?

My dear old friends! So much longer near, old friends.

Back again at last.

When everyone is doing great.

Won't this be fun?

With dear old friends. Utterly sincere old friends!

MEG:

Honey, break a leg

RAOUL:

Madame, good day

MADAME GIRY:

Enjoy your stay

CHRISTINE:

Hope it extends

ALL:

So glad you're here! A lovely dear old friends! Old friends!

CHRISTINE:

Gustave, Gustave, Gustave?

RAOUL:

Must we always be chasing after the boy?

I promise you, when I find him

CHRISTINE:

No, I will look for him

MAN:

Break's over, Meg, back to work

MEG:

A-5, 6, 7, 8

MEG & CHORUS:

Bathing beauty, on the beach

Bathing beauty, say hello

What a cutie, what a peach

Bathing beauty, watch her go

Beautiful

GUSTAVE:

Who are you?

Where are you taking me?

FLECK:

I am Miss Fleck.

SQUELCH:

The Mighty Squelch.

GANGLE:

Dr. Gangle.

TRIO:

At your service.

FLECK:

And his.

GANGLE:

Come along and follow us.

FLECK:

Come and follow faster.

SQUELCH:

Come along and follow us.

TRIO:

Come and meet the master.

Hurry up and follow us

Hurry if you care to

Soon the dark will swallow us

Follow if you dare to

GUSTAVE:

Is this is where Mr. Y lives?

GANGLE:

This is where he works.

FLECK:

Step lively child.

SQUELCH:

He is waiting.

GUSTAVE:

What is this place?

PHANTOM:

This is my realm

Illusion's domain

Where music and beauty

And art have faced rain

Go, look around while I finish my work.

GUSTAVE:

May I?

PHANTOM:

What's this?

GUSTAVE:

Just a song

In my head

PHANTOM:

Go on.

GUSTAVE:

I think it's beautiful.

Beautiful, beautiful notes.

Beautiful, beautiful sounds.

Don't you agree?

It's beautiful

PHANTOM:

This boy.

GUSTAVE:

So very beautiful.

PHANTOM:

This music.

GUSTAVE:

Music that calms and controls.

PHANTOM:

He plays like me.

GUSTAVE:

Haunting, and lovely, and bold

PHANTOM:

He's just ten years old

Ten years old!

My God

My God

The Beauty Underneath

The Phantom Confronts Christine

Gustave, it's alright, it's me!

PHANTOM:

How could you think I wouldn't guess?

What do you mean?

How could you think I wouldn't know?

Oh, no

PHANTOM:

Do you have something to confess?

Please don't make me

I want the truth right now, if so!

CHRISTINE:

Once upon another time

Ever since that other time

Just love

Our son

Just live

My son

Just give what I could give

PHANTOM:

My own flesh and blood

CHRISTINE:

Forgive me, I beg you, if you can

PHANTOM:

From out of ugliness, such light

For Christine, my Christine

Ah, Christine

MADAME GIRY:

Ten long years and he casts us aside

All our hopes were at last in our grasp

All of the bonds in between is now torn
