Letras de Giry Confronts the Phantom / ’Til I Hear You Sing

Tell me, did you watch?

Tell me that you saw
Did you hear the crowd?
The way they cheered?
I hope you′re proud
Did you like the new routine?
Was it passable, I mean?
I can change a thing or two
What should I do?
No, don't say it, I can guess
But I promise I′ll progress

Yes, of course
Whatever you feel is best

Did the costume look okay?
Too revealing, would you say?
People seemed to like the view

Meg, please

I could show a bit more skin
That would surely bring 'em in

Meg!

Can't you see that the master′s at work?
Can′t you see that his mind's somewhere else?
Can′t you see that obviously
He's thinking of things more important than you?

Careful, Madame
You′re forgetting yourself

Don't you see he forgot what this is?
Opening day, a big deal, what′s the fuss?
Our success means naught, I guess
Compared to the things that the master must do

That's quite enough!

Christine! Christine!

Christine

Meg, leave. Now
In Paris, when the mob surrounded you
Who was there? We were there
Where was she when the lawmen hounded you?
Gone, long gone, we stayed on
Who concealed you safe away?
Smuggled you up to Calais?
Found a freighter out of France?

I don't see the problem
This is ancient history

And once here, when the sideshow hired you
Who stood by? Meg and I
While they kept you on display
Who kept working night and day?
Who gave you their very lives?

And who helped you buy that sideshow?
Who helped you finance your scheme?
Who wouldn′t quit ′til your act was a hit
And your hit could become your dream?
Who plied the politicians?
Lured investors and the press?
No, not her
And who stayed with you?
Helped you and advised you?

We stayed with you
Loved and idolized you

She betrayed you
Shunned you and despised you

She chose Raoul, chose his beauty and youth
It's long past time you faced up

Enough!
You′ll be repaid as I promised you would
Now, if you've anything else left to say

Oh, Christine, my Christine
Yes, you fled from my face once before
But Christine, what we shared even you can′t ignore
My Christine, I'll be no longer denied
I′ll have you back by my side
My sweet Christine

And come what may, I swear somehow, some way
I will hear you sing once more
