Phantom of the Opera Songbook

Phantom of the Opera Songbook



The Phantom of the Opera is a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, based on the French novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra by Gaston Leroux. It is considered by many to be the most successful musical of all time and is also the longest running show in Broadway history. The music is composed by Lloyd Webber, with lyrics by Charles Hart. Additional lyrics are by Richard Stilgoe. The book was written by Lloyd Webber and Stilgoe. The central plot revolves around a beautiful soprano, Christine Daaé, who becomes the obsession of a mysterious, disfigured musical genius. The Phantom of the Opera opened in the West End in 1986, and on Broadway in 1988. It won the 1986 Olivier Award and the 1988 Tony Award for Best Musical, and Michael Crawford (in the title role) won the 1986 Olivier and 1988 Tony for Best Performance by an Actor in a Musical. It is the longest-running Broadway show by a wide margin (celebrating its 10,000th performance on Broadway on 11 February 2012), the second longest-running West End musical, and the third longest-running West End show overall.

the phantom of the opera 





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:
Those who have seen your face, 
Draw back in fear.
I am the mask you wear.

Phantom:
It's me they hear.

Both:
My/your spirit and my/your voice, 
In one combined.
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your/my mind

Offstage: 
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera! 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/phantom_of_the_opera/the_phantom_of_the_opera.html ]
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 your/my mind

Christine:
He's there, The Phantom of the Opera! 
(Vocalizing)

Phantom:
Sing my angel of music! 

Christine:
(Vocalizing higher) 

Phantom:
Sing for me! 

Christine:
(Vocalizing higher) 

Phantom:
Sing my angel of music! 

Christine:
(Sings higher) 

Phantom:
SING FOR ME! 

Phantom:
I have brought you, 
To the seat of sweet music's throne.
To this kingdom where all must pay homage to music, 
Music.
You have come here.
For one purpose and one alone.
Since the moment I first heard you sing, 
I have needed you with me to serve me, to sing, 
For my music.
My music

Think Of Me Free Music Sheet



Think of me is composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber for his stage musical The Phantom of the Opera. In the musical, Carlotta Giudicelli is cast in the part, but during rehearsal a backdrop falls dangerously close to her. She quits, having had many similar experiences for several years. The managers almost cancel the show, but Meg Giry suggests that her friend Christine Daaé could sing the part. Christine begins to sing, tentatively, but soon she gains confidence and amazes the entire company with her voice and is given the role. During the performance that night, Christine's childhood friend, Raoul de Chagny, attends and is particularly impressed when he hears her. The lyrics of the song itself are asking someone to think of the singer, even when they are "far away and free."

Lyrics:

Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the way things
might have been . . .

Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . . .

RAOUL:
Can it be? Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were...
She may not remember me,
but I remember her...

CHRISTINE
Flowers fades,
The fruits of summer fade,
They have their seasons, so do we
but please promise me, that sometimes
you will think of me!
