Paragraph Lyric
Christine:

All my life I've been waiting
In my mind, in a rocking
For my fancy to take the air
I would know the time

Tick and tock went my childhood
Father said I would know the place
Skin would tingle and pulse would race
As they do...It's here! I'm...

Home, where music fills the air, and I'm
Home, where a thousand lovers cry
Swoon and sigh, and I'm
Home, Where ev'ry violin
Plays a treat as sweet as a honeycomb
Wherever music plays I know I'm home.

Here, where fables come alive, year by year
We forget our troubled nights, under lights
And each tear becomes a gentle tune or duet
Kept straight by a metronome...
And if I'm singing, then I know, I'm home.

Where ev'ry English horn
Makes me feel glad I'm born
And any woodwind trill
Excites a thrill that's new!

The giant contrabass...
The great soprano's face
Combine to make a perfect world
Far better than what's outside.

Dreams--I've lived within my dreams
Now it sems I've awakened and they're real
Pinch and feel! If one day
I walk upon this stage from these wings
And play underneath this dome
And if I sing with all my heart...
I'll be home.

Phantom:

All my life to be waiting
For an angel to one day speak
Mouth goes dry, and my knees grow weak
At each word--each sound--
That voice--that music in the air
Ev'ry choice, ev'ry syllable, each note
How they float--and her tone!
A miracle of silk, spun to gold, unfolded in polychrome...
And when I hear it how I know I'm home

Who is this prodigy, who sings to only me?
She is as innocent and natural as a rose.
I'll do her so much good, we two, I know we could
Combine to make a perfect world
Far better than what's outside

Together:

Dreams (My dreams)
I've lived within my dreams now it seems
I've awakened and they're real, if they're real
If one day I (she) walk (walks) upon this stage
And play (plays) underneath this dome
And if I (she) sings with all my (her) heart
I'll be...home.
