Andrew Lloyd Webber - Angel Of Music (The Phantom Of The Opera)

Where in the world
Have you been hiding?
Really, you were
Perfect!
I only wish
I knew your secret!
Who is your great tutor?

(Abstracted, entering the dressing room)

Father once spoke
Of an angel.
I used to dream he'd
Appear.
Now as I sing,
I can sense him
And I know
He's here.
(Trance-like)
Here in this room
He calls me softly
Somewhere inside
Hiding.
Somehow I know
He's always with me
He - the unseen genius.

(Uneasily)
Christine, you must have
Been dreaming.
Stories like this can't
Come true.
Christine, you're talking
In riddles
And it's not
Like you.

(Not hearing her, ecstatic)

Angel of music!
Guide
And guardian!
Grant to me your glory!
Meg (to herself)
Who is this angel?
This...

Angel of music!
Hide no longer!
Secret and strange
Angel.

(Darkly)

He's with me, even now
Meg (bewildered)
Your hands are cold.

All around me.

Your face, Christine,
It's white.

It frightens me.

Don't be frightened.
