All I Ask of You

No more talk of darkness, Forget these wide-eyed fears; I'm here, nothing can harm you, My words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, Let daylight dry your tears; I'm here, with you, beside you, To guard you and to guide you. Say you love me every waking moment, Turn my head with talk of summertime. Say you need me with you now and always; Promise me that all you say is true, That's all I ask of you. Let me be your shelter, Let me be your light; You're safe, no one will find you, Your fears are far behind you. All I want is freedom, A world with no more night; And you, always beside me, To hold me and to hide me. Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime; Let me lead you from your solitude. Say you need me with you, here beside you, Anywhere you go, let me go too, Christine, that's all I ask of you Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime; Say the word and I will follow you. Share each day with me, Each night, each morning. Say you love me! RAOUL You know I do. Anywhere you go, let me go to Love me, that's all I ask of you. (they kiss) I must go They'll wonder where I am Wait for me Raoul! Christine I love you! Order your fine horses! Be with them at the door! And soon you'll be beside me! You'll guard me and you'll guide me (they hurry off and the phantom emerges from behind the statue) I gave you my music Made your song take wing And now how you've repaid me Denied me and betrayed me He was bound to love you when he heard you sing Christine Christine Say you'll share with me one love, One lifetime say the word and I will follow you Share each day with me, each night, each morning You will curse the day you did not do All that the Phantom asked of you!
