Till I Hear You Sing Once More
The day starts, the day ends
Time crawls by
Night steals in, pacing the floor
The moments creep,
Yet I can’t bear to sleep
Till I hear you sing
And weeks pass, and months pass
Seasons fly
Still you don’t walk through the door
And in a haze
I count the silent days
Till I hear you sing once more.
And sometimes at night time
I dream that you are there
But wake holding nothing but the empty air
And years come, and years go
Time runs dry
Still I ache down to the core
My broken soul
Can’t be alive and whole
Till I hear you sing once more
And music, your music
It teases at my ear
I turn and it fades away and you’re not here
Let hopes pass, let dreams pass
Let them die
Without you, what are they for?
I’ll always feel
No more than halfway real
Till I hear you sing once more
Arrival of the Trio
GFS = Gangle, Fleck, Squelch, or some combination. I can’t tell which is which.
Sp = Spectator (member of the crowd)
R = Raoul
Gu = Gustave
GFS: Are you ready to begin? Are you ready to get on?
You’re about to start out on the journey of your life.
R: Is this some kind of joke?
Sp: Nah, it’s a publicity stunt for that freak show on Coney.
Sp: It’s a front-page feature is what it is. You gettin’ this, [name]?
Sp: You betcha.
GFS: If you’re ready then get in, once you’re in then we’ll get gone
And who knows once it goes where you’ll be when it arrives?
R: This is outrageous!
[crowd noises]
Sp: It’s amazing!
Sp: Brilliant!
Sp: I’m telling you, that Mr. Y chap’s an absolute genius.
GFS: It’s a funhouse where the mirrors all reflect what’s real
And reality’s as twisted as the mirrors reveal
And the fun is finding out what the mirrors show
R: This is unacceptable! Do you hear me? I will be taking this up with your employer, whoever he is.
Gu: Everything and everyone, it’s so just how I dreamed
All the freaks and all the fun, exactly how I dreamed
And Phantasma still awaits
I wonder what’s behind its gates
Sp: That was somethin’, wasn’t it?
Sp: Eh, I was hopin’ she’d sing. Caruso sang half of Pagliacci for us when he got off the boat.
Sp: Eh, I bet she ain’t got it no more. Not like the old days. Oh sure, she’s pitch-perfect, but empty inside. Like a plane[?] without a
[?]
Sp: Look! It’s the Rockefellers!
[crowd noises]
Look With Your Heart
Christine:
Love’s a curious thing
It often comes disguised
Look at love the wrong way
It goes unrecognised.
So look with your heart
And not with your eyes
The heart understands
The heart never lies
Believe what it feels
And trust what it shows
Look with your heart
The heart always knows
Love is not always beautiful
Not at the start…
So open your arms
And close your eyes tight
Look with your heart
And when it finds love
Your heart will be right
Learn from someone who knows
Make sure you don’t forget
Love you misunderstand
Is love that you’ll regret
Gustave:
(Spoken) Mother…
(sung)
Look with your heart
And not with your eyes
The heart can’t be fooled
Christine:
The heart is too wise
Gustave:
Forget what you think
Christine:
Ignore what you hear
Both:
Look with your heart
It always Sees clear
Gustave:
Love is not always beautiful
Not at the start
Christine:
But open your arms
and close your eyes tight
Look with your heart
And when it finds love
Your heart will be right.
Beneath a Moonless Sky
P is Phantom, C is Christine, and B is both.
C: I should have known that you’d be here
I should have known it all along
This whole arrangement bears your stamp
You’re in each measure of that song.
How dare you try and claim me now?
How dare you come invade my life?
P: Oh, Christine. My Christine.
In that time when the world thought me dead
My Christine, on that night just before you were wed
Ah, Christine. You came and found where I hid
Don’t you deny that you did, that long ago night
C: That night…
P: Once there was a night, beneath a moonless sky
Too dark to see a thing, too dark to even try
C: I strode to your side to tell you I must go
I couldn’t see your face, but sensed you even so
And I touched you,
P: And I felt you
B: And I heard those ravishing refrains
C: The music of the past
P: The singing of your veins
C: And I held you
P: And I touched you
C: And embraced you
P: And I felt you
B: And with every breath and every sigh
C: I felt no longer scared
P: I felt no longer shy
Both: At last our feelings bared beneath a moonless sky
C: And blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul
I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole
P: Cloaked under the night with nothing to suppress
A woman and a man
No more, and yet no less
And I kissed you
C: And caressed you
Both: And the world around just fell way.
We said things in the dark we never dared to say.
P: And I caught you
C: And I kissed you
P: And I took you
C: And caressed you
Both: With a need too blatant to deny
And nothing mattered then
Except for you and I
Again and then again beneath a moonless sky
P: And when it was done
Before the sun could rise
Ashamed of what I was, afraid to see your eyes
I stood while you slept and whispered a goodbye
And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky
C: And I loved you, yes I loved you
I’d have followed anywhere you left
I woke to swear my love
and found you gone instead
P: And I loved you and I left you
C: How I loved you!
P: And I had you, both of us knew why
C: We both knew why
Both: And yet I won’t regret from now until I die
The night I can’t forget
Beneath a moonless sky
P: And now
C: How can you talk of now?
For us, there is no now.
Dear Old Friend
G: Mother
C: Patience, Gustave. First I must find the stage manager, my dressing room, the musical director
G: Then we’ll go look for our friend? And go see the island?
C: I’m sure he’ll send for you when he’s ready. Excuse me, miss, would you mind?
M: Heaven help me, could it be? No, it couldn’t possibly
C: Sorry, do I?
M: Yes, I think you do
C: Have we?
M: Go on, take a guess!
C: Wait it can’t be, is it?
M: Yes!
C: Oh my God, I can’t believe it’s you!
M: Look at you Christine, regal as a queen and beautiful!
C: Meg, and you as well – I couldn’t hardly tell it’s you!
Both: My dear old friend,

C: And sing!
M: sing?
C: and of course as a treat for my son. Meg, meet Gustave.
M: Who hired you to sing here?
R: You.
Giry: It can’t be you
R: Is this a jest?
Giry: How can this be?
R: We’ve come to work
Giry: At whose request?
R: The contract’s here
Giry: I want to see. My God, the price
R: It’s rather high
Giry: Why, it’s absurd!
R: Why yes, I know. Inform your boss, that by the by, the fee goes up or else we go
Both: My dear old friend, yet how things appear old friend
Giry: He who pays the bill
R: Times two or three
Giry: Be sure he will
R: And handsomely
Both: And dear old friend, now tat we are clear old friend
Giry: That’s all very well, but till you’re gone you’ll wait upon my boss’ whim
R: Ah yes, your boss. And who is that?
Giry: It’s HIM.
M: Sorry, did I hear you right? Here to sing tomorrow night? I’m afraid there must be some mistake. You can’t be performing-
C: Why?
M: Mainly, dear, ’cause so am I. I’m in fact the star for heaven’s sake. What are you to sing?
C: Just one little thing, an aria. Please you needn’t fret, I’m sure you will get your due.
R: Him?
Giry: That’s what I said
R: You work for him?
Giry: Now so do you
R: My poor wife. We thought him dead. She’ll be appalled.
Giry: Unless she knew.
C: Darling, please are you alright?
R: That music – who was its creator?
C: Darling, please don’t squeeze so tight
R: Something’s going on here – I’ll deal with you later
M: Did you know?
Giry: How could I know? Why would they come?
M: Why won’t they go?
All: My dear old friend, can’t believe you’re here old friend
Giry: Speaking as your host
M: As an artist
C: What a surprise!
R: To say the least
All: Yes dear old friend, that’s a happy tear old friend. I can’t conceal, try though I may the way I feel, so I pretend. I’m sure it’s clear
to such a dear old friend
Giry: You mustn’t stay
C: Why would I leave?
R: Why are we here?
M: Don’t play naive.
All: What dear old friends, don’t we all live here old friends
R: Nothing has been changed
M: And never will
Giry: Just rearranged, and yet we’re still
All: Such grand old friends, such devoted and old friends. Words can not suggest what’s in my heart, and for the rest why even start?
My dear old friends, so much longer near
Back again at last
When everyone is doing great
Won’t this be fun?
With dear old friends, utterly sincere old friends
M: Honey, break a leg
R: Madame good day
Giry: Enjoy your stay
C: Hope it extends
All: So glad you’re here, a lovely dear old friend – old friend!
C: Gustave? Gustave?
R: Must we always be chasing after the boy? I promise you, when I find him
C: No! I’ll find him

F: I’m miss Fleck

Gangle: Doctor Gangle
All: At your service.

S: This is where he woks.
F: Step lively, child.
Gangle: He is waiting.
*Don Juan theme *
G: What is this place?
P: This is my realm, illusion’s domain.
Where music and beauty and art are for-swain.
Go look around while I finish my work.
G: May I? *plays piano*
P: What’s this?
G: Just a song I have made
P: Go on.
G: I think it’s beautiful.
Beautiful, beautiful notes.
Beautiful beautiful sounds.
Don’t you agree?
It’s beautiful
P: This boy…
G: So very beautiful
P: This music…
G: Music that can’t on control
P: He plays like me
G: Floating and lovely and all
P: He’s just 10 years old. 10 years old! My God. My GOD!
The Beauty Underneath
P= Phantom
G= Gustave
badass guitar intro
P: Have you ever yearned to go
Past the world you think you know?
Been enthralled to the call of the beauty underneath?
Have you let it draw you in
Past the place where dreams begin
Felt the full breathless pull of he beauty underneath?
When the night unfolds its wings
Do you sense the strangest things?
Things no one would ever guess
Things mere words can not express?
Gustave: Yes!
P: Do you find yourself beguiled
By the dangerous and wild
Do you feed on the need for the beauty underneath?
Have you felt your senses served
And surrendered to the urge?
Have been hooked as you looked at the
When you stare behind the night
Can you glimpse its primal might?
Might you hunger to possess
Hunger that you can’t repress
G: Yes!
It seems so beautiful
So strange yet beautiful
Everything’s just as you say
P: And he’s so beautiful
Perhaps too beautiful
What I suspect cannot be
And yet somehow, we both see
The very same thing
G: It’s the music in your head
Have you followed where it led
And been graced with a taste of the beauty underneath
Does it fill your every sense
Is it terribly intense?
Tell me you need it too
Need the beauty underneath
Both: When it lifts its voice and sings
Don’t you feel amazing things
Things you know you can’t confess
Things you thirst for nonetheless
G: It seems so beautiful
P: Can it be?
G: Almost too beautiful
Both: Do you see what I see?
P: To him it’s beautiful. My world is beautiful
G: How can this be what it seems?
B: All of my most secret dreams somehow set free!
P: You can feel the lift, (yes) come closer (yes)
Have no fear of the beauty underneath
You can face it (yes), you can take it (yes)
You see through to the beauty underneath
To the splendor (yes), and the glory (yes)
To the truth of the beauty underneath
You’ll accept it (yes), you’ll embrace it (yes)
Let me show you the beauty underneath
To the splendor and the glory
To the truth of the beauty underneath
You’ll accept it (yes) you’ll embrace it (yes)
Let me show you the beauty under -
SCREAM as Gustave takes off the Phantom’s mask
The Phantom Confronts Christine
C: GUSTAVE! It’s alright, it’s me! Gustave… please take him away. I’m so sorry… Please forgive him, he meant no harm…
P: How could you think I wouldn’t guess?
C: What do you mean?
P: How could you think I wouldn’t know?
C: Oh no…
P: Do you have something to confess?
C: Don’t make me!
P: I want the truth, right now, if so!
C: Once upon another time,
you went off and left me alone…
but that’s not all you did…
You left me with a son.
Ever since that other night,
I wished, how I wished you’d have known!
I kept the secret hid…
the secret my marriage forbid!
What else could I have done?
Just live,
P: A son…
C: Just live
P: A son…
C: Just give what I could give…
and take what little I deserve…
P: (spoken) My own flesh and blood… and even he recoils in horror from me… just like his mother.
C: Forgive me, I beg you, if you can.
I’ve brought you nothing but woe!
Tomorrow night I’ll sing with all my might!
Sing for you again!
(spoken) And we’ll go.
P: From out of ugliness, such light.
From out of darkness, such a flame.
In him my wrongness is made right…
and yet he loathes me just the same.
So let him shun me in disgust!
Let him flee this cursed face!
If I must hide from him, I must!
Yet shall he be my saving grace!
Oh Christine, my Christine, if it’s true, I’ve no reason to live…
then Christine, then the boy shall have all I can give!
Ah, Christine! All I create on this earth…
all that I’ll never be worth…
all shall be his!
Why Does She Love Me?
Raoul: One more.
Bartender: Oh, buddy, don’t you think you’ve had enough? It’s practically morning already.
Raoul: One more, I said!
Bartender: All, right, all right. My shift is over anyway, so let’s settle the bill, ok? Jeez, you’re in a bad way aren’t you? Worse than
most that end up here. Here’s the morning shift – maybe he’ll know what to do with you.
Raoul: Yes, what to do with me. That’s the question, isn’t it? That’s always been the question. Ever since the beginning.
She looks for sympathy
I give her sorrow
She asks for honesty
I’ve none to borrow
She needs my tender kiss
She begs it of me
I give her ugliness
Why does she love me?
She yearns for higher things
Things I can’t give her
The rush that music brings
I can’t deliver
And even when she sings
And soars above me
I try to clip her wings
Why does she love me?
One more drink, sir. That’s what I need don’t you think, sir? Leave the hurt behind.
Do you hear me? Another drink!
She wants the man I was
Husband and father
At least she thinks she does
She needn’t bother
Beneath this mask I wear
There’s nothing of me
Just horror, shame, despair
Why does she love me?
How ’bout you, sir? Tell me what am I to do, sir? Leave the hurt behind.
Meg: Morning, Bernie, coffee please! Hurry up before I freeze. I’ll just take it black. Mother said I’d find you here.
Raoul: Miss Giry…
Meg: Do you know where you are?
R: Hell, I imagine
M: Around here they call it suicide hall. It’s where people end up when they don’t know where else to go. The hopeless, the
desperate. Good place to step off the side of the pier and quietly vanish.
R: You seem to be a regular.
M: Me? I come here to swim
This town is coarse and cold and mean
It’s hard to keep your conscience clean
Faceless in the crowd
Anything’s allowed
And so I come at dawn each day
Come to wash it all away
Sink into the sea
Blue and cool and kind
Let it set me free
Let the past unwind
Leave the hurt behind
You should never have come to America. It’s not a place for people like you and Christine. It’s too easy to forget who you are and
where you belong. That’s why Mother says you must leave here. Now. Take your wife and the boy and go.
R: Leave? What about tonight? The concert, the money? Am I to just run away from him?
M: When the sun rises tomorrow we can all start again. Clean.
Sail across the sea
Put us out of mind
Close your eyes and flee
Let yourself stay blind
Leave this place behind
Devil Take the Hindmost
P= Phantom
R= Raoul
R: Miss Giry, I’m not afraid of him. I’ve bested him before and if he ever had the courage to meet me face to face, man to man…
No, no it can’t be.
P: Not afraid of me, you say?
R: Stay back or I’ll kill you, I promise you!
P: Of course. As you say, you’ve beaten me before, but that was a long time ago, Vicomte. And we were playing a different game.
Look at you, deep in debt
Stinking drunk – pitiful
Shall we two make a bet?
Devil take he hindmost
R: Look at you, foul as sin
Hideous – horrible
Call the stakes, deal me in
Devil take the hindmost
P: Our Christine shall choose tonight
R: Let her choose
P: Is she yours or mine?
R: Draw the line
P: If she sings you lose tonight
R: I won’t lose
P: You leave from here
R: Fine!
P: Disappear
R: Fine! And if she won’t, if I win
P: All your debts wiped away
R: Very well, let’s begin
Both: Devil take the hindmost
(simultaneously)
R: You think you have the odds
You think you’re in control
You think you’ve fixed the dice
Well I will gladly roll
I’ll bet against the house
I’ll even double down
P: Our game, it’s been changed
Evey throw risking her
All the rules rearranged
Fate has redesigned those
R: Fortune’s on my side
I won her long ago, I won her from you then
I beat you even now, I’ll win her back again
P: Cut the deck, let us play
Roll your die once again
Both: And when the game is done, either way,
Devil take the hindmost
Now Christine shall choose at last
Is she yours or mine?
R: We’ve a son – our bond’s secure
P: Are you sure?
R: What?
P: Are you so sure?
R: What do you mean?
P: Such a child, strange to see
Different, musical
R: Huh?
P: Is he more you or me?
Which one do you find most?
R: You lie.
(simultaneously)
P: Deal the cards, let them fall
Choose your hand, try your best
He who wins, wins it all
R: I call your bluff – the game is on
And we will see who wins
He who runs it out wins it all
Both: Devil take he hindmost
P: Deal the cards, let them fall
Choose your hand, try your best
He who wins wins it all
R: I call your bluff – the game is on
And we will see who wins out
Both:
He who runs it out wins it all
Devil take the hindmost!
P: She walks, you leave together
Pockets full
Debts paid.
She sings – you leave alone.
Devil take the hindmost.
R: Oh, God. What have I done? Look at me – the concert’s only hours away.
"Please, Miss Giry, I want to go back"
P= Phantom
C= Christine
G= Gustave
M= Meg
G: Please, Miss Giry, I want to go back. I want my mother.
M: The world is hard, the world is mean. It’s hard to keep your conscience clean.
G: Please, you’re hurting me!
M: The sea is calm, the sea is gray. It washes everything away.
G: I can’t swim!
M: Don’t worry, it’s almost over. Sink into the deep, blue and cool and kind. Then drift off to sleep, let the past unwind. Leave the
hurt behind…
C: Gustave!
G: Mother!
M: No, I’m not done yet!
P: Let go of the boy now!
M: Not another step.
P: Let go of him, girl, or I promise you -
M: Not another word!
Always wondered how to make you watch – well watch me now!
I took a little trip to Coney Island
I took a little trip because of you
I did as Mother said and followed where you led
And tried to do what little I could do
Well, here’s the way it works on Coney Island
They make you pay for every little crumb
I gave what they would take
I gave it for your sake
Now look at me and see what I’ve become
Bathing beauty on the beach
Bathing beauty in her dressing room
Bathing beauty in the dark
On their laps in their arms in their beds
Giry: Meg, my little Meg
P: What are you saying?
M: Who helped you raise the money?
who helped the permits come through
Who greased the wheels of your high flying deals
Bought you time when the bills came due
Who swayed the local bosses
Curried favor with the press
No, not her
And who kept singing, desperate for you favor
Who kept dancing, hoping you would save her
Who kept dying and this is what you gave her?
Now that I’ve got you attention at last
Here’s the big finish and then you can go
P: Give me the gun, Meg
Give me the hurt and the pain and the gun Meg
Give me the blame for not seeing the things that you’ve done, Meg. Give me the gun, Meg
Give me the chance to see you clear at last
M: See me clear at last…
P: You feel ugly, you feel used, you feel broken, you feel bruised.
Ah, but me, I can see all the beauty underneath
M: Yes…
P: You’ve been robbed of love and pride
Been ignored and pushed aside
Even so, I still know thee is beauty underneath
M: Yes…
P: Diamonds never sparkle right
If they aren’t set just right
Beauty sometimes goes unseen
We can’t all be like Christine
M: Christine. CHRISTINE. Always Christine!
*gun shot*
M: No! I didn’t mean to! Mother, there! Say something! Say anything!
P: Giry! Go get help! NOW!
G: Where’s Papa? He should be here? Where’s Papa?
C: Your father… your real father…
Look with your heart, and not with your eyes
The heart understands, the heart never lies
Believe what it feels and trust what it shows
Look with your heart, the heart always knows
Love is not always beautiful
Not at the start
G: So open your arms
C: And close your eyes tight
G: Look with your heart
C: And when you find love (she’s starting to struggle to talk)
G: NOOOOOOOO!
P: Once upon another time our story had only begun
I had a taste of joy, the most I ever knew
Now there isn’t any time and somehow our story is done
And what about the boy? What am I to do?
C: Just love, just live
And give what we can give
And take the love that you deserve
Both: Just love, just live
And give…
P: All that I have
And take what little I deserve
C: Come closer, I beg you
Closer still
Remember love never dies
Kiss me one last time
*Christine dies, TIHYS melody plays*
Love Never Dies
Who knows when love begins?
Who knows what makes it start?
One day it’s simply there, a life inside your heart
It slips into your thoughts,
It infiltrates your soul
It takes you by surprise, then siezes full control
Try to deny it, and try to protest
But love won’t let you go, once you’ve been posessed
Love never dies, love never falters
Once it has spoken, love is yours
Love never fades, love never alters
Hearts may get broken, love endures
Hearts may get broken, love endures
And soon as you submit,
Surrender flesh and bone,
That love takes on a life much bigger than your own
It uses you at whim,
And drives you to despair
And forces you to feel more joy than you can bear
Love gives you pleasure and love brings you pain
And yet, when both are gone, love will still remain
Love never dies, love never falters
Once it has spoken, love is yours
Love never fades, love never alters
Hearts may get broken, love endures
Hearts may get broken
Love never dies, love will continue
Love keeps on beating when you’re gone
Love never dies, once it is in you
Life may be fleeting, love lives on
Life may be fleeting, love lives on
Once Upon Another Time
C: Once upon another time
Our story had only begun
You chose to turn the page
And I made choices too
Once upon that other time
We did what we thought must be done
And now we have no choice
We do what we must do
We love, we live
We give what we can give
And take what little we deserve
P: Once upon another time
I knew how our story would end
And may be I was wrong
But now the moment’s gone
Worried still that other time
I’d make time itself somehow bend
But now I’m not that strong
And time keeps moving on
B: We love, we live
We give what we can give
And take what little we deserve
B: We love, we live
We give what we can give
And take what little we deserve
Once upon another time
Devil Take The Hindmost (Quartet)

P: Use your head
R: No Time to wait
P&R: Hesitate, we’re all undone

Devil take the hindmost
(Together)
Now it’s time
No turning back
hole(?) is on the line

one last chance
to get what’s mine
G: I hope Christine is worthy of you
I hope her singing makes up for what your blindness are done to Meg and me
M: Devil take the hindmost
Before the Performance
C: Gustav, could you hand me those earrings? The diamond on the left… Here, how do I look?
G: You look so beautiful,
So very beautiful,
Like a queen in a book.
C: You too are beautiful,
So very beautiful.
Once the performance is through
We’ll spend some time, just us two.
Won’t that be fine?
G: Father, doesn’t Mother look lovely tonight?
R (spoken): Indeed, she does. She’s lovely as she looked the very first time I came your dressing-room door.
C (spoken): And look at you, Raoul! You look just like that handsome boy in the Opera house. One who had always toss me a single red rose.
R: Please, Gustav, if you don’t mind, would you wait outside a while?
G (spoken): May I go exploring by myself?
C: Yes, but stay backstage, my dear.
When I finish, meet me here.
G (spoken): I will.
R: Since a wedding day,
Since I’ve gone astray…
C (spoken): Raoul…
R: I’m not proud of the way
That I’ve acted.
C (spoken): If both?
R: But demands I’ve made
All the hopes mislaid,
I’m aware of the price they’ve exacted.
Now I’ve no right to ask you to,
There is one thing more I’d have you do.
If you love me as I love you…
C (spoken): Anything, darling.
R: Don’t sing the song, dear!
C (spoken): What? But, Raoul!..
R: You have to know. Something’s terribly wrong, dear.
C: But I have to do this.
It’s what we agreed to.
R: That hell’s-born demon,
He’s hurt us playing his game all along, dear.
C: Let me just get through this.
Listen, please, I need you.
R: You mean so much, it’s true
And I’ve denied you.
You need the man you knew
Back here beside you.
You’ll have him back, I vow,
Just asked it of me
But we must leave here now
If you still love me.
K (spoken): Do you mean it, Raoul? Truly?
R (spoken): Booked the passage for three. (Несколько слов не разобрала) “Atlantic Queen”. It leaves in an hour. We’ll have choice in no time, I beg you. But be yearned for both us sake and the child’s.
(sung) Leave this place behind.
Дальше идёт тот кусочек, который разобрал и перевёл opera.
Miss Daae, it’s time!
C: Twisted every way
What answer can I give?..
I know I can’t refuse
And yet I wish I could.
Oh, God!
R: Christine, Christine, don’t think that I don’t care…
P: But every hope and every prayer is on you now.
Prima Donna theme.
Devil Take The Hindmost (Quartet)
R: Will she sing? Will she flee?
What is she thinking now
Is it him? Is it me?
Devil take the hindmost
R: Will she stay? Will she go?
Does she know? Even now?
Please Christine, stop the show
Devil take the hindmost
P: Obey your heart
And sing for me
You want it so
Stay and be mine, eternaly
Devil take the hindmost
P&R: Now it’s time so make your choice
Do it for our son
P: Use your head
R: No Time to wait
P&R: Hesitate, we’re all undone
G: Perhaps she won’t go on
Perhaps she loose her nerve
Perhaps her voice won’t serve
And she will fail him now
And then my child and I will get what we deserve
Devil take the hindmost
R: Will she stay? Will she go?
Does she know? Even now?
Please Christine, stop the show
Devil take the hindmost
P: Obey your heart
And sing for me
And sing for me
You ,me ,the child. eternally
Devil take the hindmost
G: Perhaps she won’t go on
Perhaps she loose her nerve
Perhaps her voice won’t serve
And she will fail him now
I’ll bet my child and I will get what we deserve
Devil take the hindmost

Does she know? Even now?
Please Christine, stop the show
Devil take the hindmost
P: Obey your heart
And sing for me
And sing for me
You ,me ,the child. eternally
Devil take the hindmost
(Together)
Now it’s time
No turning back
All is on the line
here it is the final dance
one last chance
to get what’s mine
G: I hope Christine is worthy of you
I hope her singing makes up for what your blindness are done to Meg and me
M: Devil take the hindmost
