Beneath A Moonless Sky Songtext / Lyric

Christine: 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?



Phantom: 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



Christine: That night...



Phantom: Once there was a night

Beneath a moonless sky

Too dark to see a thing,

Too dark to even try






Christine: I stole to your side

To tell you I must go

I couldn't see your face

But sensed you even so

And I touched you

Phantom: And I felt you

Both: And I heard those ravishing refrains

Christine: The music of your pulse

Phantom: The singing in your veins



Christine: And I held you

Phantom: And I touched you

Christine: And embraced you

Phantom: And I felt you

Both: And with every breath and every sigh



Christine: I felt no longer scared

Phantom: I felt no longer shy

Both: At last our feelings bared

Beneath a moonless sky



Christine: And blind in the dark,

As soul gazed into soul

I looked into your heart

And saw you pure and whole



Phantom: Cloaked under the night

With nothing to suppress

A woman and a man,

No more and yet no less

And I kissed you



Christine: And caressed you

Both: And the world around us fell away

We said things in the dark

We never dared to say



Phantom: And I caught you

Christine: And I kissed you

Phantom: And I took you

Christine: And caressed you

Both: With a need too urgent to deny



And nothing mattered then

Except for you and I

Again and then again

Beneath a moonless sky



Phantom: 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

Christine: And I loved you

Yes, I loved you

I'd have followed anywhere you led

I woke to swear my love

And found you gone instead

Phantom: And I loved you(How I loved you)

And I left you(how I loved you)

And I had to, both of us knew why (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



Phantom: And now?

Christine: How can you talk of now?

For us, there is no now
