CHRISTINE
Raoul, I've Been There -
To His World Of
Unending Night . . .
To A World Where
The Daylight Dissolves
Into Darkness . . .
Darkness . . .
Raoul, I've Seen Him!
Can I Ever
Forget That Sight?
Can I Ever
Escape From That Face?
So Distorted,
Deformed, It
Was Hardly A Face,
In That Darkness . . .
Darkness . . .
(trancelike, Then Becoming More And More Ecstatic)
But His Voice
Filled My Spirit
With A Strange, Sweet Sound . . .
In That Night
There Was Music
In My Mind . . .
And Through Music
My Soul Began
To Soar!
And I Heard
As I'd Never
Heard Before . . .
RAOUL
What You Heard
Was A Dream
And Nothing More . . .
CHRISTINE
Yet In His Eyes
All The Sadness
Of The World . . .
Those Pleading Eyes,
That Both Threaten
And Adore . . .
RAOUL (comforting)
Christine . . .
Christine . . .
PHANTOM (unseen, A Ghostly Echo Of RAOUL's Words)
Christine . . .
CHRISTINE
What Was That?
(A Moment, As Their Eyes Meet. The Mood Changes.)
