Love Never Dies Lyrics

"Ah, Christine..." / "Gustave! Gustave!..."

Phantom:
Ah, Christine, my Christine
What a triumph you gave me tonight
My Christine
All the dark silent years now set right
Ah, Christine

Christine:
The song was beautiful
It sounded beautiful
Every note, every word

And it felt beautiful
And I felt beautiful
Lost in the music once more
Feeling it rise up and soar
Alive once again

Raoul:
My dearest wife
Little Lotte, I beg you, forgive me

Christine:
Raoul, no

Raoul:
Little Lotte
Ah, what fools we once were

Both:
Long ago in our youth

Christine:
In Paris at the opera

Raoul:
Romantic idiots
Those two people are gone

Now I must go
Our choices are made
The opera is done
The last notes have been played

May your angel of music
Watch over you now
And give you what I wish
I gave you somehow

Yours, in regret
Raoul

Christine:
Gustave, Gustave, Gustave.

Phantom:
What's wrong?

Christine:
Gustave!

Phantom:
What's wrong?!

Christine:
He should have been here. He was meant to be here!

Phantom:
It's that idiot Raoul. Why, I'll kill that drunken fool! That he dare touch that child. A child that isn't his. Mr. Squelch?!

Squelch:
Sir?

Phantom:
Seal the port, blockade each road. Call in every favor that I'm owed. I'll be damned if he leaves this isle!

Squelch:
The Vicomte de Chagny left here in a carriage, saw with my own eyes, sir. There was no one with him

Phantom:
Are you quite certain he left here alone?

Squelch:
Sir, was there anyone else here backstage?

Phantom:
Yes, yes. Madam Giry, she was here, with her vicious little sneer and that comment she made. The ungratetful back biting snake! She's been greedious indeed. She'll get hers now guaranteed! Go now quickly! Bring her round! Bring the boy back safe and sound! Then I'll tear her limb from limb!

Madame Giry:
What is the meaning of this? How dare your minions manhandle me in this fashion. I demand an answer.

Phantom:
The boy, woman. What have you done with him?

Madame Giry:
The boy? You think I took the boy? Why would I do such a thing? You think I don't know who he is? All these years, who has been faithful more than I? No one!

Phantom:
Giry

Madame Giry:
All these years, who could you think I'd hurt that child--

Phantom:
My patience is running dry--

Madame Giry:
All these years, I've been mother to you and Christine as much as my daughter--

Phantom:
Enough!

Madame Giry:
Do you think I don't know how it hurts to see one's child far too off?

Phantom:
Gustave, Gustave, Gustave.

Fleck:
Sir? I just passed Meg's dressing room. It was empty as a tomb, but her mirror was smashed all in pieces on the floor

Phantom: Meg?

Madame Giry:
Oh my god.

Fleck:
And I saw her down the hall, pulling someone pale and small. And she looked all about and then scurried out the door.

Madame Giry:
God I left her, so distraught. Please who knows just what she thought. I'm afraid she's come undone. But she won't hurt him. Meg would never hurt him. How could she hurt him?

Phantom:
I know where they've gone, but we must hurry!

Madame Giry:
In that crowd? There are millions of people out there.

Christine:
Gustave! My poor Gustave.

Phantom:
Theres no time to waist

Christine:
Gustave!

(Crowd making noise)

Christine:
Gustave, Gustave!

Phantom:
You there, stop!

Christine:
It's not him.

Madame Giry:
Meg.

Phantom:
I think I see them! This way!

Christine:
Gustave! Is that... I'm so sorry.

Madame Giry:
Meg, please.

Phantom:
To the pier!
