I Remember Stranger Than You Dreamt It Lyrics

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...

Oh 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, speaking]

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