Michael Crawford - In Concert [live] (1998) by Michael Crawford (보컬) on maniadb.com

I only want to say,
If there is a way,
Take this cup away from me.
For I don't want to taste its poison,
Feel it burn me.
I have changed.
I'm not as sure, as when we started.

Then, I was inspired.
Now, I'm sad and tired.
Listen, surely, I've exceeded expectations,
Tried for three years, seems like thirty.
Could you ask as much from any other man?

But if I die,
See the saga through
and do the things you ask of me,
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me,
nail me to their tree.
I'd want to know, I'd want to know, My God,
I'd want to know, I'd want to know, My God.
I'd want to see, I'd want to see, My God,
I'd want to see, I'd want to see, My God

Why I should die.
Would I be more noticed that I ever was before?
Would the things that I've said and done
matter any more?

I have to know, I have to know my Lord,
I have to know, I have to know my Lord
I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord,
I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord
If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?

I'd have to know, I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to know, I'd have to know my Lord

Why should I die?
Can you show me now
that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little
of your omnipresent brain.
Show me there's a reason
for you wanting me to die
You're far to keen and where and how,
and not so hot on why.

Alright, I'll die!
Just watch me die!
See how I die!
See how I die!



Then, I was inspired.
Now, I'm sad and tired.
After all, I've tried for three years,
seems like ninety.
Why then am I scared to finish,
what I've started....
What you started - I didn't start it!
God, thy will is hard,
But you hold every card.
I will drink your cup of poison.
Nail me to the cross and break me.
Bleed me, Beat me, Kill me
Take me now..before I change my mind.

Now...before I change my mind.

When I fall in love It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun,
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart It will be completely,
Or I'll never give my heart,
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you.

When I fall in love It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun,
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart It will be completely,
Or I'll never give my heart,
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you.

Love, love changes everything: hands and faces, earth and sky.
Love, love changes everything: how you live and how you die.
Love can make the summer fly, or a night seem like a lifetime.
Yes, love, love changes everything, now I tremble at your name.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Love, love changes everything: days are longer, words mean more.
Love, love changes everything: pain is deeper than before.
Love will turn your world around, and that world will last forever.
Yes, love, love changes everything, brings you glory, brings you shame.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.


Off into the world we go, planning futures, shaping years.
Love bursts in and suddenly all our wisdom disappears.
Love makes fools of everyone: all the rules we make are broken.
Yes, love, love changes everything: live or perish, in its flame.
Love will never ever let you be the same.
Love will never ever let you be the same.

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/Your spirit and my/your voice
In one combined
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my/your mind

Beware
The phantom of the opera


He's there
The phantom of the opera


Sing, my angel of music
Sing, my angel !
Sing for me !

No more talk
of darkness,
Forget these
wide-eyed fears.
I'm here,
nothing can harm you -
my words will
warm and calm you.

Let me be
your freedom,
let daylight
dry your tears.
I'm here
with you, beside you,
to guard you
and to guide you...

Say you love me
every
waking moment,
turn my head
with talk of summertime...

Say you need me
with you
now and always...
Promise me that all
you say is true -
that's all I ask
of you...

Let me be
your shelter,
let me be your light.
You're safe:
No-one will find you -
your fears are
far behind you...
All I want
is freedom,
a world with
no more night...
and you,
always beside me,
to hold me
and to hide me...
Then say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime...
let me lead you
from your solitude....

Say you need me
with you
here, beside you...
anywhere you go,
let me go too -
Christine,
that's all I ask
of you...
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime...
say the word
and I will follow you...
Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning...

Say you love me...

You know I do...
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you...

Anywhere you go
let me go too...
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you...

Night time sharpens
Heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences

Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn you face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold un-feeling light
And listen to the music of the night

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies un-wind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Only then can you belong to me

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music of the night

You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the niiiiiiiight

Somebody's down to their last dime
Somebody's running out of time
Not too far from here
Somebody's got nowhere else to go
Somebody needs a little hope
Not too far from here

And I may not know their name
But I'm praying just the same
That You'll use me, Lord
To wipe away the tears
'Cause somebody's crying
Not too far from here

Somebody's troubled and confused
Somebody's got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody's forgotten how to trust
And somebody's dying for love
Not too far from here

It may be a stranger's face
But I'm praying for Your grace
To move in me
And take away the fear
'Cause somebody's hurting
Not too far from here

Help me, Lord, not to turn away from pain
Help me not to rest, while those around me weep
Give me Your strength and compassion
When somebody finds, the road of life too steep

Somebody's troubled and confused
Somebody's got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
(Not too far)
Somebody's forgotten how to trust
And somebody's dying for love
Not too far from here
(Not too far)

Now I'm letting down my guard
And I'm opening my heart
Help me speak Your love
To every needful ear
Someone is waiting
Not too far from here
(Not too far)

Someone is waiting
(Waiting)
Not too far from here

From Company

Somebody, hold me too close,
Somebody, hurt me too deep,
Somebody, sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware
Of being alive,
Being alive.

Somebody, need me too much,
Somebody, know me too well,
Somebody, pull me up short
And put me through hell
And give me support
For being alive,
Make me alive.

Make me confused,
Mock me with praise,
Let me be used,
Vary my days.
But alone is alone, not alive.

Somebody, crowd me with love,
Somebody, force me to care,
Somebody, make me come through,
I'll always be there,
As frightened as you,
To help us survive
Being alive,
Being alive,
Being alive!
