Fantasma da Ópera - Stranger Than You Dreamt It

Stranger
Than you dreamt it -
Can you even
Dare to look
Or bear to
Think of me:
This loathsome
Gargoyle, who
Burns in hell, but secretly
Yearns for heaven,
Secretly . . .
Secretly . . .
But, Christine . . .
Fear can
Turn to love - you'll
Learn to see, to
Find the man
Behind the
Monster: this . . .
Repulsive
Carcass, who
Seems a beast, but secretly
Dreams of beauty,
Secretly . . .
Secretly . . .
Oh, Christine . . .
(He holds out his hand tor the mask, which she gives to
Him.He puts it on, turning towards the audience as he
Sings):
Come we must return -
Those two fools
Who run my theatre
Will be missing you.
(The lair sinks into the floor as the PHANTOM and
CHRISTINE leave)
