Verse 1
(C major) Let me do something for you
that is a positive joy for me
to perform on many levels.
First of all, it is a joy to do it,
to hear the arrangement
and hear this excellent orchestra play it,
to create the mood.
Anything we do,
(G major) this is the best, the (C major) best.
(G major) But I happen to love the show, (F major)
(C major) an d I want you to go with me on this.
A show on Broadway
that's caused more ex (A minor) citement
in the last (D major) year and a half
than (G major) anything that's (C major) happened in (G major) the phantom,
right, phantom (C major) of the opera,
Andrew Lloyd Webber (G major) 's song.
I did it (C major) opening night.
I haven't done it since.
This is the second time,
but I'd like to do it,
because you've got to
(F major) pick your audiences.
You (C major) can't do it every night.
You know, people go,
what is he doing that for?
But I would like to just,
for those of you who
(G major) haven't seen the show,
the year (C major) is 1865, it's Paris,
(B flat major) and (C major) there is a horribly disfigured (G major) man
who (C major) lives underneath the Paris Opera,
in the sewers,
in his particular labyrinth.
He has rigged it
so that he can hear what goes on,
everything,
musically, vocally,
in the opera house.
One day he hears a girl
by the name of Christine
Daaé audition.
He falls in love with her, boys.
And he visits mysteriously
through the opera house.
No one ever sees him.
He's a shadow.
He looks at her
and he falls madly in love with her,
so much so that he kidnaps her one night
and brings her down to the sewer.
She is frightened beyond words, of course,
but he has to tell her how he
feels about her,
his love that he feels, neat,
if you will, the Phantom.
I am your angel of music
Come to me, angel of
Night (G major) time sharpens,
heightens each sen (C major) sation, (G major)
(C major) darkness stirs (G major) an d wakes
ima (C major) gination. (G major)
(C major) Si lently the (G major) senses abandon
(C major) their defenses. (F major) (C major)
Slowly, (G major) gently,
night un (D major) furls its (G major) splendor. tender.
(C major) Grasp it, (G major) sense it,
(F major) tremulous an (C major) d tender. (G major)
(C major) Turn your face away from the
gaddish light of (G major) day,
turn your (C major) thought (F major) s away (C major) from
cold and feel (F major) ing light, (C major)
and listen (F major) to (C major) (D major) my music (G major) of (C major) the night.
close your (B flat major) eyes and surrender
to your (E flat major) darkest dreams
purge your thoughts (A flat major) of the
life you (D major) knew before
close your (G major) eyes
let your spirit start to (C major) soar
Then (G major) you will (E minor) live
as (B major) you've never lived (E major) before.
(C major) Softly, (G major) deftly, mu (C major) sic shall caress (G major) you.
(C major) Hear it, feel it, (F major) secretly possess (G major) you.
(F major) Open up your (C major) mind.
Then let your (F major) fantasies un
(C major) wind in (F major) this darkness
which you (B flat major) know you (F major) cannot fight (C major) .
The dark (G major) ness of (F major) (G major) my music of the night. (C major)
Let your (B flat major) mind start a journey
through a (E flat major) strange new world,
leave all (A flat major) thoughts of
the world you knew be (D major) fore.
Let your (G major) soul take you
where you want to (C major) be
Only (E major) then (E minor) will (B major) you belong (E major) to me
Float (C major) ing, (G major) falling, sweet (C major) in toxication
Touch me. Trust (G major) me.
(C major) Savor each sensation.
Let (F major) the dream begin.
(C major) Let (F major) your darker side (C major) give in to (F major) the power
of the (B flat major) mu sic that (F major) I write. (G major)
The power of my music, of the night. (C major) (F major) (C major) (F major)
(C major) You (F major) alone can make
(B flat major) my (F major) song take (G major) flight.
Help (F major) me, make my mu (G major) sic of
(D major) the (F major) night. (D minor)
(A flat major) Christine, Christine, (F sharp major) trust (C major) me.
Nice seeing you again,
Mr. Happy, Mr. Peaceful.
What the hell was that hollering out here?
Was that that little guy doing all that noise?
He sure knows how to make
that kind of nice noise
though, don't he? I just came
to tell you
that we're going to turn off the lights
and get the hell out of here.
We get a little older waiting in the wings in there
all the time, you know.
Calendar papers, pages,
what the hell with it.
I got a great piece of news for you,
you're going be thrilled.
It's snowing outside.
At least it was about a half hour ago.
Happy holiday season.
All the good health and much love
for everybody in the room.
Let's not talk about my birthday.
The worst singing I ever heard.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
You can all go now.
Shoot!
