El Fantasma De La Opera Lyrics
Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics
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 here
Inside my mind
Sing once again with me our strange duet
My power over you grows stronger yet
I know you turn from me to glance behind
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside your mind
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
It's me they hear
Your spirit and my voice in one combined
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside your mind
(He's there the phantom of the opera
Beware the phantom of the opera)
In all your fantasies, you always knew
That man and mystery
Were both in you
Tarja & Marco:
And in this labyrinth where night is blind
The Phantom of the opera is here
Inside your mind
Sing, my angel of music!
