This is the original version, used in the single released by Steve Harley and Sarah Brightman. It came out before the full musical.
CHRISTINE
Beneath the
Opera House,
I know
he's there...
He's on
the stage with me,
he's everywhere...And when
my song begins
I always
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...You give
you love to me,
for love
is blind...
The Phantom of the Opera
is now
your mastermind...CHRISTINE
Those who
have seen your face
draw back
in fear...
I am
the mask you wear...PHANTOM
It's me
they hear...BOTH
Your/my spirit
and your/my voice,
in one
combined:
the Phantom of the Opera
is there-
inside your/my mind...OFFSTAGE VOICES
He's there,
the Phantom of the Opera...
Beware
the Phantom of the Opera...PHANTOM
Sing once
again with me
our strange
duet...
My power
over you
grows stronger
yet...BOTH
You give
you love to me,
for love
is blind...
The Phantom of the Opera
is now
your mastermind...PHANTOM
Sing, my Angel of Music!CHRISTINE
He's there,
the Phantom of the Opera...(She begins to vocalise strangely, her song becoming more and more extravagant. The PHANTOM continues in the back ground)
PHANTOM
Sing once again with me our strange duet. My Power over you grows stronger and stronger. Sing once again our strange duet. Sing!! The Phantom of the Opera is now your mastermind. I am here inside your mind! I am everywhere! Sing! Sing! Sing, my Angel of Music!
