Think of Me (From Phantom Of The Opera) - Now Broadway Live

(The introduction is played on the piano) CARLOTTA Think of me, Think of me fondly, When we've said Goodbye. Remember me Once in a while - Please promise me You'll try. When you find That, once Again, you long To take your heart... (As CARLOTTA is singing, a backdrop crashes to the floor, Cutting her off from half the cast) He's here: The Phantom of the Opera... He is with us... It's the ghost... MEG (looking up) He's there: the Phantom of the Opera... ANDRÉ Good heavens! Will you show a little courtesy? FIRMIN (to MEG and the OTHERS) Mademoiselle, please! ANDRÉ (to CARLOTTA) These things do happen. CARLOTTA Si! These things do happen! Well, until you stop These things happening, this thing does not happen! MEG Christine Daaé could sing it, sir. FIRMIN The chorus girl? GIRY Let her sing for you, Monsieur. She has been well taught. CHRISTINE Think of me, Think of me fondly, When we've said Goodbye. Remember me Once in a while - Please promise Me you'll try. CHRISTINE When you find That, once Again, you long To take your heart back And be free - If you Ever find A moment, Spare a thought For me... (Transformation to the Gala, CHRISTINE is revealed in full Costume) We never said Our love Was evergreen, Or as unchanging As the sea - But if You can still Remember, Stop and think Of me... Think of all the things We've shared and seen - Don't think about the things Which might have been... Think of me, Think of me waking, Silent and Resigned. Imagine me, Trying too hard To put you From my mind. Recall those days, Look back On all those times, Think of all the things We'll never do - There will Never be A day, when I won't think Of you... (Applause, bravos. Prominent among the bravos, those of the Young RAOUL in the MANAGERS' box) RAOUL Can it be? Can it be Christine? Bravo! (He raises his opera-glasses) What a change! You're really Not a bit the gawkish girl That once you were... (Lowering his opera-glasses) She may Not remember Me, but I remember Her... CHRISTINE We never said Our love Was evergreen, Or as unchanging As the sea - But please Promise me, That sometimes, You will think Of me!

In sleep he sang to me In dreams he came That voice which calls to me and speaks my name And do I dream again? For now I find The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside my mind Sing once again with me Our strange duet My power over you grows stronger yet And though you turn from me to glance behind The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your mind Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear I am the mask you wear It's me they hear My spirit and my your voice in one combined The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside my mind (He's there, the phantom of the opera) (Beware, the phantom of the opera) In all your fantasies, you always knew That man and mystery Were both in you And in this labyrinth Where night is blind The Phantom of the Opera is here Inside my mind Sing, my angel of music He's there, the Phantom of the Opera Sing, sing for me Sing, my angel of music Sing for me

Jesus, I am overjoyed To meet You face to face You've been getting quite a name All around the place Healing cripples Raising from the dead And now I understand You're God At least that's what You've said So You are the Christ You're the great Jesus Christ Prove to me that You're divine Change my water into wine That's all You need do And I'll know it's all true C'mon King of the Jews Jesus, You just won't believe The hit You've made around here You are all we talk about The wonder of the year Oh, what a pity If it's all a lie Still I'm sure that You can rock The cynics if You try So if You are the Christ You're the great Jesus Christ Prove to me that You're no fool Walk across my swimming pool If You do that for me Then I'll let You go free C'mon, King of the Jews I only ask things I'd ask any superstar What is it that You have got That puts You where You are? I am waiting, yes, I'm a captive fan I'm dying to be shown That You are not just any man So if You are the Christ Yes, the great Jesus Christ Feed my household with this bread You can do it on Your head Or has something gone wrong? Why do You take so long? Come on, King of the Jews Hey, aren't You scared of me, Christ? Mr. Wonderful Christ You're a joke, You're not the Lord You are nothing but a fraud Take Him away He's got nothing to say Get out, You King of the, get out Get out, You King of the Jews Get out, You King of the Jews Get out of my life

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway I saw the Empire State laid low Life went on beyond the Palaces They all bought Cadillacs, and left there long ago They held a concert out in Brooklyn To watch the Island bridges blow They turned our power down and drove us underground But we went right on with the show Oh oh-oh oh-oh oh I've seen the lights go out on Broadway I saw the ruins at my feet You know we almost didn't notice it We'd see it all the time on Forty-Second Street They burned the churches up in Harlem Like in that Spanish civil war The flames were everywhere But no one really cared It always burned up there before Oh oh-oh-oh-oh oh I've seen lights go out on Broadway I washed the mighty skyline fall The boats were waiting at the valley The union went on strike, they never sailed at all They sent a carrier out from Norfolk And picked the Yankees up for free They sailed the Queens to save, they blew the Bronx away And sank Manhattan out at sea You know those lights were bright on Broadway That was so many years ago Before we all lived here in Florida Before the Mafia took over Mexico There are not many who remember They say a handful still survive To tell the world about the way the lights went out And keep the memory alive
