Raoul, I've Been There
(Indisponível)
Christine
Raoul, i've been there -
To his world of
Unending night . . .
To a world where
The daylight dissolves
Into darkness . . .
Darkness . . .
Raoul, i've seen him!
Can i ever
Forget that sight?
Can i ever
Escape from that face?
So distorted,
Deformed, it
Was hardly a face,
In that darkness . . .
Darkness . . .
(trancelike, then becoming more and more ecstatic)
But his voice
Filled my spirit
With a strange, sweet sound . . .
In that night
There was music
In my mind . . .
And through music
My soul began
To soar!
And i heard
As i'd never
Heard before . . .
Raoul
What you heard
Was a dream
And nothing more . . .
Christine
Yet in his eyes
All the sadness
Of the world . . .
Those pleading eyes,
That both threaten
And adore . . .
Raoul (comforting)
Christine . . .
Christine . . .
Phantom (unseen, a ghostly echo of raoul's words)
Christine . . .
Christine
What was that?
(a moment, as their eyes meet. the mood changes.)
