Barbara Bonney - All I Ask of You Lyrics

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 . . .
CHRISTINE
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 . . .
RAOUL
Let me be
Your shelter,
Let me
Be your light.
You're safe:
No-one will find you
Your fears are
Far behind you . . .
CHRISTINE
All I want
Is freedom,
A world with
No more night . . .
And you
Always beside me
To hold me
And to hide me . . .
RAOUL
Then say you'll share with
Me one
Love, one lifetime . . .
Iet 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 . . .
CHRISTINE
Say you'll share with
Me one
Love, one lifetime . . .
Say the word
And I will follow you . . .
BOTH
Share each day with
Me, each
Night, each morning . . .
CHRISTINE
Say you love me . . .
RAOUL
You know I do . . .
BOTH
Love me -
That's all I ask
Of you . . .
(They kiss)
Anywhere you go
Let me go too . . .
Love me -
That's all I ask
Of you . .
(CHRISTINE starts from her reverie)
CHRISTINE
I must go -
They'll wonder where I am . . .
Wait for me, Raoul!
RAOUL
Christine, I love you!
CHRISTINE;
Order your fine horses!
Be with them at the door!
RAOUL
And soon you'll be beside me!
CHRISTINE
You'll guard me, and you'll guide me . . .
(They hurry off. The PHANTOM emerges from
Behind the statue)
