Original London Cast Recording - I Remember/Stranger Than You Dreamt It Lyrics

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?

D*** 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!

D*** 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 bell, but secretly yearns for heaven,
Secretly ...
Secretly ...

But, Christine ...

Fear can
Turn to love - you'll learn to see,
To find the man behind the 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.
