I Remember / Stranger Than You Dreamt It Lyrics

*CHRISTINE*
I remember
There was mist...
Swirling mist
Upon a vast, glassy lake...

There were candles
All around,
And on the lake there
Was a boat,
And in the boat
There was a man...

Who was that shape
In the shadows?
Whose is the face
In the mask?

*PHANTOM*
Damn you!
You little prying
Pandora!
You little demon -
Is this what you wanted to see?
Curse you!
You little lying
Delilah!
You little viper -
Now you cannot ever be free!

Damn you...
Curse you...

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 this
Monster: this...
Repulsive
Carcass, who
Seems a beast, but secretly
Dreams of beauty,
Secretly...
Secretly...

Oh, Christine...

Come we must return -
Those two fools
Who run my theatre
Will be missing you.
