Lloyd Webber: The Phantom of the Opera - All I Ask of You - Julian Lloyd Webber, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Barry Wordsworth

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

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

Those who have seen your face

Draw back in fear

I am the mask you wear

It’s me they hear…

Your/My spirit and my/your voice

In one combined

The Phantom of the Opera is there

Inside my/your mind

Beware, the Phantom of the Opera

In all your fantasies, you always knew

That man and mystery

Were both in you

And in this labyrinth, where night is blind

The Phantom of the Opera is here/there

Inside my/your mind…

Sing, my Angel of Music!

He’s there, the Phantom of the Opera

Sing!

Sing for me

Sing, my Angel of Music!

Sing for me!

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…
