Christine, Christine

PHANTOM

Christine

MEG

Where in the world have you been hiding

Really, you were perfect

I only wish I knew your secret

Who is your great tutor

CHRISTINE

Meg, when your mother brought me here to live

Whenever I'd come down here alone

To light a candle for my father

A voice from above

And in my dreams

He was always there

You see, when my father lay dying

He told me I will be protected by an angel

An angel of music

MEG

Christine, do you believe?

Do you think the spirit of your father is coaching you?

CHRISTINE

Who else, meg?

Father once spoke of an angel

I used to dream he'd appear

Now as I sing, I can sense him

And I know he's here

Here in this room he calls me softly

Somewhere inside hiding

Somehow I know he's always with me

He, the unseen genius

MEG

Christine, you must have been dreaming

Stories like this can't come true

Christine, you are talking in riddles
