Before the Performance

(Gustave)

Ooh(Christine)

Gustave, could you hand me those earrings

The diamond ones on the left?

There, how do I look?(Gustave)

You look so beautiful

So very beautiful

Like a queen in a book(Christine)

You too are beautiful

So very beautiful

Once this performance is through

We'll spend some time just us two

Won't that be fun?(Gustave)

Father, doesn't mother look lovely tonight?(Raoul)

Indeed she does

As lovely as she looked the very first time

I came to her dressing room door(Christine)

And look at you, Raoul

Huh?

You look just like that handsome boy in the opera box

The one who'd always toss me a single red rose(Raoul)

Please, Gustave, if you don't mind

Would you wait outside a while?(Gustave)

May I go exploring, by myself?(Christine)

Yes, but stay backstage, my dear

When I'm finished, meet me here(Gustave)

I will(Raoul)

Since our wedding day, things have gone astray

(Christine) Raoul

I'm not proud of the way that I've acted

(Christine) We've both been

The demands I've made, all the hopes mislaid

I'm aware of the price they've exactedThough I've no right to ask you to

There's one thing more I'd have you do

If you love me as I love you(Christine) Anything, darling

(Raoul)Don't sing the song, dear

(Christine) What?

But, Raoul

(Raoul) You have to know

Something's terribly wrong, dear(Christine) But I have to do this

It's what we agreed to

(Raoul) That hell-spawn demon

He's had us playing his game all along, dear

(Christine) Let me just get through this

Listen, please, I need to(Raoul)

You need so much, it's true

And I've denied you

You need the man you knew

Back here beside youYou'll have him back, I vow

Just ask it of me

But we must leave here now

If you still love me(Christine) Do you mean it, Raoul, truly?(Raoul)

I've booked a passage for three

To Cherbourg on the Atlantic Queen, it leaves in an hour

We'll have just enough time, I beg you

Let's be on it for both our sakes

And the child'sLeave this place behind(Phantom)

He knows his love is not enough

He knows he isn't what you need

He knows you're made of finer stuff

I think on that we're all agreedIt's time to leave him in the dust

It's time to be who you should be

It's time to do now as you must

And set the music in you freeIn moments, mere moments

Drums will roll

There you'll stand just like beforeThe crowd will hush

And then in one sweet rush

I will hear you sing once moreAnd music, our music

Will swell and then unwind

Like two strands of melody at last entwinedFulfill us, complete us

Make us whole

Seal our bond forever moreTonight, for me

Embrace your destiny

Let me hear you sing once more(Stage)

Miss Daae, it's time(Christine)

Twisted every way

What answer can I give?I know I can't refuse

And yet I wish I could

Oh, God(Raoul)

Christine, Christine

Don't think that I don't care

(Phantom)

But every hope and every prayer

Rests on you now

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
