Verse 1
C 
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 
C 
this is the best, the best.
G 
F 
But I happen to love the show,
C 
an d I want you to go with me on this.
A show on Broadway
Am 
that's caused more excitement
D 
in the last year and a half
G 
C 
G 
than anything that's happened in the phantom,
C 
right, phantom of the opera,
G 
Andrew Lloyd Webber's song.
C 
I did it 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 
pick your audiences.
C 
You 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 
haven't seen the show,
C 
the year is 1865, it's Paris,
Bb 
C 
G 
and there is a horribly disfigured man
C 
who 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
G 
Nighttime sharpens,

imagination.
C 
G 
Si lently the senses abandon
C 
F 
C 
their defenses.
G 
Slowly, gently,
D 
G 
night unfurls its splendor. tender.
C 
G 
Grasp it, sense it,
F 
C 
G 
tremulous and tender.
C 
Turn your face away from the
G 
gaddish light of day,
C 
F 
C 
turn your thoughts away from
F 
C 
cold and feeling light,
F 
C 
D 
G 
C 
and listen to my music of the night.
Bb 
close your eyes and surrender
Eb 
to your darkest dreams
Ab 
purge your thoughts of  the
D 
life you knew before
G 
close your eyes
C 
let your spirit start to soar

Then you will live
B 
E 
as you've never lived before.

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you.

Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you.
F

Open up your mind.
F 
Then let your fantasies un
C 
F 
wind in this darkness
Bb 
F 
C 
which you know you cannot fight.
G 
F 
G 
C 
The darkness of my music of the night.
Bb 
Let your mind start a journey

through a strange new world,

the world you knew before.
G 
Let your soul take you
C 
where you want to be

Only then will you belong to me

Christine, Christine, trust 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!
