I Remember/Stranger Than You Dreamt It lyrics

[Christine]

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?

[She removes his mask. Phantom covers his face]

[Phantom]

Damn 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!

Damn you, curse you...

Stranger than you dreamt it

Can you even dare to look, or bear to think of me

This loathesome gargoyle

Who burns in hell, 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...

(Christine hands the Phantom his mask)

[Phantom]

Come, we must return, those two fools who run my theatre will be missing you.
